#70687 - 2002-10-08 11:46 AM Hide external program startup message
GattoNero GattoNero Lurker Registered: 2002-10-08 Posts: 1	HI guys... I've create a simple logon script that CALL another small scripts code: (...) If Exist(@LSERVER + "\netlogon\kix\Identd.kix") Call @LSERVER + "\netlogon\kix\Identd.kix" EndIf (...) which launch a daemon on the target machine with the RUN command. code: (...) :Run Run (@LanRoot + "\daemon.exe") :End Sleep(2) Exit When this daemon starts a welcome message is displayed in the console window. How can I prevent this? (ps: no switch on the daemon for run in silent mode) TNX BYE

If the output is into the console windows, then redirecting the out put might work or calling the application with START /MIN /WAIT might also work. However, fi the output is some kind of splash screen or message box then I don't think you'll be able to suppress it. However, if you schedule the application with the Task Scheduler and run it under another user account then there will be no feedback at all on the current user's desktop for that application since it'll only interact with it's own (non-existent) desktop. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	waltz, the additional to just >nul is just for piping error messages also. so, if >nul does not work, it should not either. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

BrianTX BrianTX Korg Regular Registered: 2002-04-01 Posts: 895	Hmm. A couple thoughts... are you running the script with a SETCONSOLE("hide") before calling the daemon? Sometimes this works.. Or you can fiddle with using START /m to run minimized... Also, some applications can be called hidden.. even if they don't have a commandline switch for doing it. If you check out the COM forum, there are ways to open apps with Win32_Process... Brian
