Close cmd after launching a server with batch
What Im trying to do is to close the cmd after running a cargo tomcat server through a batch script.. I've tried attempts such as;
start mvn -P cargo.run && exit
start "" mvn -P cargo.run exit
start "" mvn -P cargo.run -Drepo.path=storage exit /b
none of them seems to work, and the cmd is still staying open. As seen in the SS.
Anyone who might know how it could be done?

Solution
what you try, is like (start ... ) && exit. You need start (... & exit) (logical notation, will not work like this).
You have to escape the & to be passed to the new instance:
start mvn -P cargo.run ^& exit
If you need &&, escape both of them:
start mvn -P cargo.run ^&^& exit
(& = "and then", && = "if previous command was successful, then")
