[Bell, Kevin] | When I run a script, how can I make it run in the background? I don't | want to see the command window because it runs all day. I'm on | windows...
Broadly, two options (depending on what "in the background" means): 1) Complex, but complete: run it as a service. See the examples in the pywin32 extensions, and various discussions on this and the python-win32 mailing list. Advantage: runs thile the machine runs Disadvantage: more complex to set up runs by default as a user with few privs 2) Simpler: run the script with the pythonw.exe executable (or rename it to <whatever>.pyw). This will run without a console window. Advantage: simpler - just use a different exe Disadvantage: will stop running when you log off TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
