title: Starting Background java using command prompt
body: <p>I run the jetty server using the below command, the server starts and the messages related to server start-up are displayed in command prompt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java -jar start.jar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>What I want:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I want to start the jetty server at the background i.e. the server should get started and no messages should be displayed in the command prompt. Hence I tried out these commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>start /MIN java -jar start.jar
  
  start /B java -jar start.jar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Cons of this command:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am able to start the server but the java.exe window opens up displaying all the server startup messages - I don't want the java.exe window to be displayed also.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know how to start the server in such a way that:</p>
  
  <p>1) The server starts at the background</p>
  
  <p>2) The java.exe window does not gets displayed</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
