Call is to call a batch file from another not an executable. The start command is what he wants JK ----- Original Message ---- From: Berny Stapleton <berny.stapleton@xxxxxxxxxx> To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 9:08:54 AM Subject: [THIN] Re: Launching apps via .cmd files I have a question for the list... Would the seamless window engine track the launch of the application, and then hide datatrac as well? What might be worthwhile would be to take a look at the CMC or Terminal Services Manager or even just task manager on the server and see whether datatrac.exe is actually running, it could be running and just hidden. You might need to have a look at: http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?externalID=CTX101644 This has all the data on the TWI (ThinWire) registry key.... Otherwise what happens when you do a: R: cd datatrac call r:\datatrac\runtrac.exe See if that makes it work, it might be that because it's called as a separate process (perhaps instead of being a child process) that ctxhide might not hide datatrac... That's all just a guess, but it's where I would be looking.

But for some reason the program won't launch now. It ran fine with just the .cmd directly published. This is what I published: "c:\program files\citrix\System32\ctxhide.exe" d:\customizations\run_datatrac.cmd Contents of the .cmd @ECHO OFF net use r: /delete net use r: \\corp-storage\vol1 r: cd datatrac r:\datatrac\runtrac.exe -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carl Stalhood Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 10:45 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Launching apps via .cmd files Or you can publish c:\program files\citrix\system32\ctxhide.exe and pass it the path of the .cmd file. This is how usrlogon.cmd is hidden. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tim Mangan Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 9:14 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Launching apps via .cmd files The trick is in how you execute the cmd.exe string, not what's inside. I think it's "cmd.exe /c file.cmd". -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Evan Mann Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 9:56 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Launching apps via .cmd files I'm doing some testing with launching a network app via a .cmd file, instead of directly publishing the app. So far, things seem OK, but I was wondering if there is any way to complete hide the command prompt window so the user doesn't see it. I published an app that runs d:\run_program.cmd and I specified @ECHO OFF in the .cmd file. So when the app runs, the cmd prompt box shows up, and they see some text related to network drives being disconnected and reconnected, then the app launches and the cmd box goes away. I'd like to make the entire process silent until the actual app launches. ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************ ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************ ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************ ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************ ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
