Run a .bat file in a scheduled task without a window
- by Tom Dunham
I have a scheduled task that starts a batch script that runs robocopy every hour. Every time it runs a window pops up on the desktop with robocopy's output, which I don't really want to see.
I managed to make the window appear minimized by making the scheduled job run
cmd /c start /min mybat.bat
but that gives me a new command window every hour. I was surprised by this, given cmd /c "Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates" - I must have misunderstood the docs.
Is there a way to run a batch script without it popping up a cmd window?
