[cvsnt] script execution opens console window on server

Fri Mar 12 11:05:40 GMT 2004

OK, so what will happen when the script line looks like this then:

DEFAULT D:\server\CVSMailer\CVSMailer.exe -l$CVSPID $USER $CVSROOT %{sVv}

In this case CVSMailer.exe is a non-windowed console application.
I assume that what CVSNT does is something like:

cmd.exe /C D:\server\CVSMailer\CVSMailer.exe -l$CVSPID $USER $CVSROOT %{sVv}

where it of course expands the %{sVv} part. In this case there is no switch
to use in order to hide the window.

But if it instead used the CreateProcess API call then it could well supply
the SW_HIDE parameter to the window handling part, I think.

Maybe this is not at all what CVSNT does?

Is there anyone here that knows how to hide or minimize the window a console
application runs in from the app itself? I use Delphi to program it of course...

The script is forced as hidden.  CVSNT itself can't affect what happens when
the script itself executes external programs - it's up to the script writer to control that.
