[python-win32] running windows 'start' cmd using spawnl

[Metz, Bobby W, WWCS]

There is no path to start, it's a built-in shell cmd.  If you want to start it asynchronously just use start's background method.

os.system("start /B command")

I use this all the time to launch things in the background and continue on my merry way.

Hi,

I need to start a program in a new cmd-window. To do this I need to 
execute: start [command]
With os.system this is straight-forward.
But I need to do it with spawnl and P_NOWAIT. I.e, asynchronously.
The problem is that I need to know the path where start resides,
which I'm unable to find.

Does anyone know where this command is located, or an alternative way of 
doing what I want?

regards tores
