I don't think this is relevant. This would prevent background jobs from
being killed off in certain circumstances. His problem is that the SSH
session is waiting for the jobs. Perhaps:

Well shucky dern. I would have thought nohuping job1 and job2 would
solve the problem. Should have tested it. :(

This might work instead.

plink user@hostname -pw password "at -f /home/user/start.sh now"
.
