I am attempting to connect to a Windows machine using SSH and run a command in the background. When I directly run the following command from the terminal after establishing an SSH connection, it works:
start PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock{"cd C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\myserver\; npm start > log.log 2>&1"}However, when I try to execute the same command remotely using SSH, it does not work as expected:
ssh myuser@machine_ip "start PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock{\"cd C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\myserver\; npm start > log.log 2>&1\"}"If I remove the 'start' keyword from the second command, it runs but retains control of the terminal. It is not necessary to use PowerShell, so if anyone knows how to run the following command in the background, please let me know:
cd C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\myserver\; npm start > log.log 2>&1Thank you.
