Hi

I’m trying to run FinalBuilder8.exe with Jenkins in a way that Jenkins will not wait till FinalBuilder8.exe will exit.  
I have tried these 3 ways but none work as expected, any ideas ?  
( Jenkins is not running as a service but with jnlp which should allow interactive mode )

```
script {
  bat """
   SET COMMAND="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\FinalBuilder 8\\FinalBuilder8.exe" -a -r "C:\\TEST.fbp8"

   CALL %COMMAND%
   start %COMMAND%
   start "" %COMMAND%
  """
}
```

I can’t really help you with Jenkins configuration, however you really should be calling fbcmd.exe rather than FinalBuilder8.exe

I know but I was hopping someone else also had this issue.  
Regarding fbcmd.exe I never tried this before, my concern is how to handle issues in the build process, I think with UI it’s easier to handle and recovery of build issues.
