[windows] Kernel.system waits for start
---------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-4470
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-4470
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.4, JRuby 1.3.1
Environment: Windows
Reporter: Mikael Pahmp
Priority: Minor
The following spawns a new process (Notepad.exe) on Windows and then
immediately returns when ran with ruby 1.8:
system('start notepad')
'start' is the command-line command for spawning a separate process that will
live on.
With jruby (both 1.3.1 and 1.4) it hangs until Notepad is stopped.
The same applies for:
system('cmd /C start notepad')
system('start', 'notepad')
system('cmd', '/C', 'start', 'notepad')
