Hello:
I have a little watchdog utility for windows that runs each five
minutes, like a unix cron ("Tareas programadas" in Spanish, scheduled
tasks?). It opened a console window for a second and that was very
annoying. So I used the switch -GW and there is no more flashing console
bothering. But then I can't show any help or any output for debug from
the prompt.
I can live with it, in fact, it usually uses a log file, but some times,
when I'm installing, testing paramters etc, it's more handy to run the
program from the prompt and see the result immediately or display the
help instead of having to open logs.
Is there any way to open a console on the fly and send the output to the
console?
Hello,
I would create a .bat file in temp folder and run a new shell execute of
that .bat. This .bat simply display some echo lines and finally autokill
itself.
If your system for security reasons do not allow run bats then you can
create a .txt file and launch a shell execute cmd with "type
\path\file.txt" (keeping session open or it will clear the screen). You
main program can wait 2-5 seconds and delete the .txt file to not
pollute the temp folder.
Of course this is a "home made" solution :) Another is have a different
exe just for the help, have a .bat or .txt in your app folder just to
show the help if it is always the same, ...
