[Puppet Users] Exec of process that doesn''t terminate

Hi!

I want to have an exec that launches a process on a Windows 7 system that
will not terminate.

I have tried just calling the executable directly, but that obviously will
not return anything, so the puppet agent waits until the timeout has
elapsed, then the exec fails.

I''ve tried using a batch file to exec the process, but puppet picks up
the
child process and won''t mark the exec successful because the child
never
returns an exit code.

Any ideas on how I can force the puppet agent to just monitor any return of
a parent launcher process and not worry about the subsequent child process?

Thanks!
