RE: Bkgnd process that returns immediately
put start /MAX C:\foo.html C:\foo.txt into MyCom set the hideConsoleWindows to true get start cmd /c quote MyCom quote get shell(it) To keep the console window from flashing in the snippet above, Xavier responded use start /b to hide the window. I have tried this, in both line 1 and line 3, and in various ordering. But the console still flashes. What am I doing wrong? What is the entire single line of script with the /b in the recommended position?

Re: Bkgnd process that returns immediately
Hi Mark, One thing you might find helpful is the 'start' Help info. Open a command line (aka DOS) window and at the prompt type: help start ... or if you want to have the info in a text file type: help start my-start-help.txt (the file will be created in the directory indicated on the prompt line) HTH - Phil Davis Mark Powell wrote: put start /MAX C:\foo.html C:\foo.txt into MyCom set the hideConsoleWindows to true get start cmd /c quote MyCom quote get shell(it) To keep the console window from flashing in the snippet above, Xavier responded use start /b to hide the window.

Phil Davis wrote: One thing you might find helpful is the 'start' Help info. Yes, I have done that. What it indicates is that /B is an optional argument to start that starts an application without creating a new window. But what is not clear is, which of the two lines where 'start' is used actually get the argument, and how is the full line supposed to read. put start /MAX C:\foo.html C:\foo.txt into MyCom set the hideConsoleWindows to true get start cmd /c quote MyCom quote get shell(it) Some things I have tried for line 1 that do not work put start /B /MAX C:\foo.html C:\foo.txt into MyCom put start /MAX /B C:\foo.html C:\foo.txt into MyCom put start C:\foo.html /MAX /B C:\foo.txt into MyCom put start /b /MAX C:\foo.html C:\foo.txt into MyCom put start /MAX /b C:\foo.html C:\foo.txt into MyCom put start C:\foo.html /MAX /b C:\foo.txt into MyCom and some attempts at line 3 get start cmd /c /b quote MyCom quote get start cmd /b /c quote MyCom quote get start cmd /c /B quote MyCom quote get start cmd /B /c quote MyCom quote As you can tell, I am aimlessly trying to pin a tail on the donkey. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
RE: Bkgnd process that returns immediately
Xavier: Thanks for the additional info on the redirect technique. I have adapted it to the following put start /MAX C:\foo.html C:\foo.txt into MyCom set the hideConsoleWindows to true get start cmd /c quote MyCom quote get shell(it) and have further questions... -1- This does seem to open foo.html without blocking. However, the console window flashes despite setting hideConsoleWindows to true. Do you have that same behavior? Is this due to the redirect, or is there something else I can include to keep the console window invisible. -2- Suppose I wanted to close the window foo.html via shell. What would the text be on the first line before ? -3- Can I put multiple lines into mycommand so that shell will run commands in sequence? Thanks very much.

RE: Bkgnd process that returns immediately
1 - use start /b to hide the window. See start /? for more options 2 - you'd have to kill the process - or check start /? for more options... 3 - yes as many as you want. cheers Xavier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 18/03/2007 14:56:20: Xavier: Thanks for the additional info on the redirect technique.

Re: Bkgnd process that returns immediately
Hi Mark, I just dont use the ampersand and it works like a charm... cheers -=- Xavier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 16/03/2007 13:21:54: A 2005 thread (from Brian, Xavier, Chipp, et. al) talked about re-direction to achieve a non-blocking shell call, using get shell(mycommand mylogfile.log ) My brain cannot get this to work. Let's say I want Rev to start C:\blah.html using shell(), and then continue executing downstream Rev handlers. I've tried variations of get shell(start C:\blah.html ) and get shell(start C:\shellTemp.txt ) where shellTemp.text contains C:\blah.html among other variations but nothing works. The following get shell(start C:\blah.html ) does work, but it is blocking. I understand the ampersand performs a handoff but am ignorant of the overall sequence of events. What am I doing wrong?

RE: Bkgnd process that returns immediately
Hi Mark, actually neither of those will do anything... you forgot to put in a command between start and the '' redirect command... for example: (diruse gets you the size of a folder for example) get shell(diruse /m thisshare findstr /i sub-total) -- retrieves the size of a share on a server which can take lots of time! works but blocks ya waiting for an answer... so what you should do is put diruse /m,* \\buffet\mysharename \\buffet\spacelogs$\diruse\bufduser20061127.log into mycommand get start cmd /c quote mycommand quote get shell(it) this will do what you want! as simple and stupid as you think DOS can be, there's always more to learn and remember which may not always be so intuitive!! cheers Xavier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 16/03/2007 16:52:36: Xavier wrote: I just dont use the ampersand and it works like a charm...
