Child processes spawn new shell on Windows

[ChezFre]

I have a project that utilizes the gm package to resize uploaded images on a Google Chrome kiosk web app. Gm does this by running GraphicsMagick via cross-spawn.

This is working as expected when I use node server.js, but when I run it via forever server.js the child processes instantiated by gm come to the foreground for a couple of milliseconds before closing again. Is there any way to prevent this behavior and have them be invisible or open in the background?

Windows 10
Node@6.6.0
Forever@0.15.3
gm@1.23.1
