The original question:
The reason is that I have updated a command file to spawn a subprocess then
exit but some legacy calls to the command file already spawn the command
file, resulting in the sub-sub-process terminating almost immediately
because its parent terminates.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This happens ONLY if SPAWN/NOWAIT was used, otherwise the parent does 
NOT terminate before @CMD exits!
