Re^3: Background proc requires ENTER keystroke on Windows 2012

but then to get the output from the backticks command, I have to hit ENTER.

What happens if you add a \n in the backticks?

"What happens if you add a \n in the backticks?" Same effect; on local 2k8 it goes through without having to keystroke, on my AWS 2k12, I have to hit ENTER.	[reply]

I'm out of guesses. Nothing I am aware of could result in the symptoms you are seeing; which suggests that this is something unique to AWS VMs; and probably only they will solve it.
