backgrounding a process

Is there a way, when starting a program via a script in
the command prompt, to set it in the background so as it
stays running when the user logs off?

Under Unix I would at the "&" to the end of the command in
a bash shell. Quite simple...

I need to know if there is something similar when working
at the Win2K command prompt.

If there is a better news group to ask this in please let
me know which one.

Thanks all

what you need to do is ensure that the process you want to
start is a service. then you just need to start the
service from the command prompt ( the command to use is
net start "name" and net stop "name" ) you have to install
you;re process as a service first though!!

Hope this helps
