How to prevent auto-closing of Tomcat on starting from Jenkins job?

I am trying to start Tomcat in my Jenkins job on a slave machine. I start Jenkins slave manually by opening slave-agent.jnlp

This is what I tried in Execute Windows Batch Command:

call C:\tomcat\bin\startup.bat

Tomcat starts on running the build and the build is marked successful but then Tomcat auto closes after few seconds.

Add the below environment variable to shell script, this also will fix the issue:

export BUILD_ID=dontKillMe

This is Jenkins Process Tree Killer in action. This is by design. You can either disable it globally for the whole Jenkins (not recommended) by starting Jenkins with extra parameter
-Dhudson.util.ProcessTree.disable=true.

For Windows environment, you can use the at command to schedule start of Tomcat (with 1 sec delay).
