running on Win without a DOS window?
[1/4] from: pierce:athenasecurity at: 5-Nov-2000 15:26
Does anyone know if it's possible to run a REBOL script/program in the
background on Windows 95/98/NT/2000? I have a program that will need to run
on some end user computers, but I know they will kill the program if it
keeps a DOS windows open...if I can keep it off the task bar it would be
great too. I was thinking that I might need to have R/Command use a
function from a .dll but haven't looked that far yet.
Thanks,
Wayne

Yes. Don't 'print anything from the script, and the Rebol script won't produce a console
window.

It can only be found by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del, and looking for "Rebol" in the list of
programs and drivers.

Who's had way too many hidden Rebols on his machine...

Well, just type "usage" in console window ...
You can use -w option ... it will not open any window. We are using it here from time
to time ...
If you are using .bat file, you have to create .pif first. We used it with our Novell
login scripts. Now we simply run rebol.exe with the name of the script as the parameter
....

Hi Wayne - i do this on my nt workstation - I have a server that I don't
want to accidentally kill. So I start the server from this batch file:
start rebol -ws chat-server.r
exit
The rebol executable will need to be in your system path. You can only kill
the program by going to task manager in nt, or by logging off.
NOTE: You may or may not want to use the -s switch :-)
