Rep Power: 1 | Thank you Dilip for your co-operation. I have a solution to run batch files in background. I found this in another forum. I don't remember the site URL. So,to run a batch file in background, you need two batch files and one vb script file. In one batch file put in the commands you need to execute and save it. (say abc.bat) Then, open a notepad and put this statement ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- save the file as invisible.vbs Now,create another batch file and enter the following command ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wscript.exe "complete path of the invisible vbs file" "abc.bat" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- save this file as launch.bat. It is advicable to save the three files in the same location. In window 7,you need to run the three files in 'Administrator' compatibility You're done. Run the 'launch.bat' and now the file 'abc.bat' is executed in the background. If you have any queries please post it in the forum. |
