Run bash (Windows Subsystem for Linux) in background, in order to keep background processes running in WSL
| ' Windows Devs said on the developer feedback asking for cron, deamons and background tasks: | |
| ' "This first release of Bash/WSL doesn’t support background tasks, cron jobs, daemons, etc. | |
| ' Currently, when you close your last bash shell console window, we tear-down the Linux process | |
| ' chain in order to conserve resources." | |
| ' | |
| ' That's the workaround for now. | |
| ' You can run it on boot, for example, and it'll keep a instance of bash running alone in the background | |
| ' allowing background processes to run on WSL. | |
| Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") | |
| WshShell.Run chr(34) & "bash" & Chr(34), 0 | |
| Set WshShell = Nothing |
