How to run a Linux Command in the Background with Deno.run

[ynwd]

I want to try run deno run -A deno.ts & using Deno.run

const cmd = ["deno", "run", "-A", "deno.ts", "&"];

const p = Deno.run({ cmd });

await p.status();

but it doesn't work.

Is there anything missing?

& isnt handled as you expect it to, as thats something handled by a shell. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

i want to implement this node.js based code in deno.

const { execSync } = require("child_process");

execSync(`deno run -A deno.ts &`, { stdio: [0, 1, 2], cwd: process.cwd() });

You should be able to simply remove the shell syntax, and ignore the result, which would let it run completely in the background:

const cmd = ["deno", "run", "-A", "deno.ts"];

Deno.run({ cmd });

This is what the Node.js example did too - it simply ignored it; execSync's synchronicity was countered by the shell &.
