Hi Steve, This is expected behaviour.
I get around this by creating a scheduled task, set to run at startup to start Solr. Hope this helps Alan -----Original Message----- From: Steven White [mailto:swhite4...@gmail.com] Sent: 29 October 2015 00:13 To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Closing Windows CMD kills Solr Hi Folks, I don't understand if this is an expected behavior or not. On Windows, I start Solr from a command prompt like so: bin\solr start -p 8983 -s C:\MySolrIndex Now, once I close the command prompt the Java process that started Solr is killed. is this expected? How do I keep Solr alive when I close the command prompt? This dose not happen on Linux. Thank in advanced.
