Windows start /wait /b NOT working
Solution 1:
This appears to be a bug in the implementation of the start command. There's a simple workaround:
start /wait /b mycommand
doesn't work (the /wait argument is ignored) but
start /b /wait mycommand
does. (Note that in this simple example you might as well just run mycommand directly, but this workaround may be useful if you want use options such as /low or /i.)
