How can I exit a cf ssh session without it killing my shell?

Question

I 'cf ssh app_name' to a nodejs app on diego. Then I want to exit that, type exit. That also kills the hosting shell (powershell on windows 7). I want my shell to stay. I've tried various commands and looked in the diego docs but I'm somehow missing this.

Answer 1

It was the shell. It doesn't happen from a regular Windows's cmd prompt. In powershell use: powershell -noExit "cf ssh app_name"

It is possible to set a powershell function to shorten it: function psne { powershell -NoExit $args[0]}

Then run psne "cf ssh app_name". Functions can be saved to the profile to run automatically.

But on balance, my solution for now will be to use the windows command prompt. The powershell, while generally the best thing since sliced bread, doesn't give me any advantages here.
