We've had multiple teams running into this problem in their deployments/runbooks.

When starting up a long running process (i.e. Start-Process Some.exe), Octopus deployment step never completes until the process on remote target ends.

Currently, the recommended workaround is wrapping the server process in a Windows scheduled task.

As described here:

It would be helpful if this functionality was added as out-of-box.

Thanks,
