Creating a Console command to run in the background
Submitted by ntbenari on Monday, 10 December, 2007 - 07:08
I'd like a Console command to run in the background.
If I enter & at the end of the line within the Console
window it works, but I get parse errors when I try to add
it in the Commando xml file.
I've tried:
buf.append('&');
buf.append('&&');
buf.append('\&');
and every other escape I can think of ... but no luck.

Thanks
Moti

batch file

Try creating a batch file instead, let's call it my.sh, insert a line with "mycommand &" in the batch file, and then call my.sh in the commando file.

Actually the solution is easy:
using the ampersand-amp-semicolon
representation for the character.
