Because we under Windows and all Cygwin binaries built as console apps and show console window. You may check it yourself: Win+R nohup yes RET It is not easy to hide console. You need to build GUI program that will hide console of next running program or something like that. My knowledge is very limiting regarding Windows. Under Unix nohup detaches app from controlling terminal so you may leave terminal session and program isn't terminated by SIGHUP signal. -- http://defun.work/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
