I have a powershell script that starts a process

$pinfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
// $pinfo = <necessary_settings>

$p = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
$p.StartInfo = $pinfo

$p.Start()

I do some stuff with this process, then job ends. When job ends Jenkins terminates this process but i want it to continue to live because next sequential jobs also needs that process. How can i do this?

I searched for a solution and found 2 but could not figure out how to use those exactly

1. -Dhudson.util.ProcessTree.disable=true passed this as argument when starting jenkins on a slave node but it didnot accept it as valid option. I am not sure whether i did it correctly though

2. BUILD_ID=dontKillMe – i have seen some recommendation to use this but i couldn’t figure out where to pass this?
