Re: Backgrounding PHP

Thanks =dn ! Not only did you give me the solution but you made me feel "not so dense" in the process :-) Thanks again and hope I have a chance to help in the future. Cary At 10:42 AM 2/16/02, DL Neil wrote:

Hi Cary, I'm new to php on Windows and to this list. This is probably a really basic question for most of you, but I've searched the web for hours trying to find an answer. Hopefully somebody here will be kind enough to clue me in. Here's the question... When running a php script from the task scheduler, how do you keep the "mtask" window from popping up every time the task runs ? Is there a command line witch for php.exe for this, or something just as simple ? I have always used AT/command line, until very recently, when I 'discovered' the 'new' task scheduler facility. Guess what, I asked exactly the same question! If you use a separate userId for the batch job, than the userId running in the foreground, the window will not pop-up over what you're doing. I set up a special userId for batch work (and relevant permissions). Regards, =dn -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
