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.

Yes, this is expected behaviour. If you want to prevent it you either
need to keep the command window open, or run Solr as a Windows Service
(kinda like a Unix daemon, but more annoying). To do the latter I would
recommend NSSM - here are some links that will help:
