RunQuiet Usage

(imported topic written by ErnieF91)

How does Runquiet.exe work?

I can run a command <netquiet.bat start “service1”> and it will start the service.

If I run <runquiet.exe netquiet.bat start “service1”> it doesn’t do anything and the service never starts.

By the way, the two files are in the same folder, so it’s not a path issue.

The netquiet.bat contains one line: start “” /min /b net %1 %2 >NUL 2>NUL

Thanks,

Ernie

Hey Ernie,

RunQuiet is a tool we wrote for BES 4.1 that helps remove the dos boxes for certain types of applications (like qchain.exe). However, RunQuiet won’t work with every single type of application.

Today (in BES 6.0 and above), there are much more useful commands:

waithidden
runhidden

These should properly hide any windows from the end user. For instance:

waithidden cmd.exe /C net start “service1”
