Create a new cmd.exe window from within another cmd.exe prompt

Question

I am in the process of setting up Cruise Control.NET. The problem I am having is that I am running CC as a console application and when my build completes successfully and executes (using exec) it launches it within the Cruise Control dos prompt. I am just using simple batch files to launch my app but having it run within the same prompt as CC is causing CC to think the build continues as long as my app runs.

Are there command line parameters to cmd.exe that will spawn another seperate prompt window ?

Thanks

Answer 1

I think this works:

start cmd.exe

Answer 2

start cmd.exe works, thanks.

Answer 3

start cmd.exe

opens a separate window

start file.cmd

opens the batch file and executes it is another command prompt
