Description

As documented by this question on HCC [1], there are references in the NiFi quick start guide [2] and admin guide [3] that reference Windows shell script artifacts that no longer exist for running NiFi in the foreground/background. The documentation should be updated to be correct, and new documentation or a new tool should be provided to allow users to run NiFi in the background on Windows [4].
