Start script without opening a Shell window

[Joel_w]

I have created a simple script that just starts Wireless Manager and Genesis when I want to go online. It has an icon and I run it directly from Workbench. But one annoying detail is that it always opens a Shell window that only contains two lines similar to this:

[CLI 9]
[CLI 10]

Both lines in the script end with >NIL: so no other output is shown. Is there a way to avoid having this Shell window opened?

Not sure but perhaps use this: <> NIL:

Are you using IconX to run the script from Workbench?

Does any of this help?

i.e. Can you add

WINDOW=NIL:

to your tooltypes if you never want window or use

AUTO

if you do but only when there would be output to show (like an error or something)

Are you using "Run" at the start of the lines? It could be that the >NIL: is being used for the output of the Wireless Manager and Genesis executables, but the Run executable is still outputting its output to the console. Try adding >NIL: directly after run if that's the case...

Run >NIL: C:WirelessManager

No, it’s just an icon with the script and executable flags set but I should try IconX.

Yes, if I remember correctly at least Wireless Manager needs run but I’ll try to move the redirection to NIL and see if it helps.

Run >NIL: C:WirelessManager

This worked perfectly! No more annoying window.

It sounds like the IconX route would have worked too but since this solved everything I haven't tried it.
