There is a way to properly disown process from cygwin bash?
for example i can run in background
/cygdrive/c/Windows/notepad.exe &
and the notepad window shows but when i close the bash using Ctrl+D or typing exit the bash window remain open
disown
cygstart notepad
Or, if you're using mintty:
setsid notepad
(setsid is in the util-linux package.)
setsid
I'd try with nohup as explained in this response to a similar question.
nohup
disown
?
