Different system("start ...") behavior than MRI on Windows
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-5493
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5493
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Windows
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.6RC2, JRuby 1.6RC1, JRuby 1.5.6
Environment: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit with "java -version"
java version "1.6.0_23"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode, sharing)
Reporter: Jon
On both 1.5.6 and 1.6.0.RC2 on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, both
{{jruby -Xlaunch.inproc=false -ve "system('start dxdiag.exe')"}}
{{jruby --1.9 -Xlaunch.inproc=false -ve "system('start dxdiag.exe')"}}
fail to immediately return until the launched process exits.
On MRI 1.8.7-p330, 1.9.2p136, 1.9.2p174, and 1.9.3dev (2011-02-12 trunk 30845)
using RubyInstaller builds, all invocations immediately return rather than
waiting for the launched process to exit.
