[chef] starting background process on windows

["Florian Hehlen" < >]

Hi,

 

Is there any help to be expected from chef or from an existing cookbook for starting background processes? I cannot find a way to start my server after deploying without having chef just hang there until I kill the server. I have tried a few different things: batch start command; ruby’s Process.spawn command. The best I get is a separate process but not one that is detached from the chef-client process.

 

Cheers,

Florian
