Hiding the cmd window from wake.cmd

[Stargrove1]

I am using gbpvrwake.exe to make sure that the screen wakes up during recording. But I found that when start the pc, the cmdbox comes in front of the pvrx exe, this does not look very nice. Is it possible to hide the window that pvrx stays in front?

you could use the app called runhide.exe

... or you can use *.vbs script instead:

Code:

set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell")

oShell.run "fullresume.exe",0,True            'fullresume after wakeup
'oShell.run "devcon.exe enable PCI\VEN_14F1",0,True    'example to enable WinTV HVR-1300 after wakeup
'oShell.run "C:\restart.bat" ,0,True            'example to execute "*.bat" file

I wrote MCE Standby Tool addon to support it: http://www.degroeneknop.nl/forum/index.p...302.0.html

or there is liteswaps' start_pvrx2 that includes this feature as well as ensuring that pvrx2 is running and in the foreground with focus.

... or you can use that small tool

usage: tofront <Mainwindowtitle>

simple place "tofront PVRX2" at the end of your wake.cmd. I wrote it because I had similar issues with epgupdate.bat

AFAIK simply (re)launching prvx2.exe will cause it to get focus. So...
copy whatever apps/tasks you need to perform to a different batch file in gbpvr's dir.
and setup your wake.cmd to contain a single line/command:

start /m batch_you_just_created.bat (/m sets it to run minimized)

Your new_batch.bat will do/run whatever wake.cmd did, but you'll add this to the very first line:

start prvx2.exe

This ensures pvrx2 gets focus no matter what.

This will give you just a tiny sniff of DOS prompt window when resuming from standby/hibernation.

just minimize it by making a shortcut for the batch file and set to startup minimized...
call the link in scripts by specifying entire name with .lnk extension..[like wake.lnk]

Wow, so many ways. Thank you all for your help, I will try which works best for me.
