i think you have to use the START command e.g.
START /MIN NameOfWindowBatFile.bat

Subject: Tomcat 5.5 startup window stays open on Windows even with Service
startup method
I am having difficulty getting Tomcat 5.5 to run on Windows in the
background. I want to allow for two methods of starting and stopping my
web application.
The first method would be via command-line using startup.bat and
shutdown.bat. startup.bat works just fine for me, but the window stays
open, and to shut down Tomcat, I must close the startup window. Running
shutdown.bat does not kill the start window, and so it also does not kill
Tomcat.
But even more importantly, I want to install my web application as a
Windows service and then give the user two command-line calls to start and
stop the service in the background. The install of the service works, and
I can then use the Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services GUI to
start and stop the service successfully, and Tomcat runs in the background
in this case. However, when I use my startService.bat, the service is
started successfully, BUT the window stays open. As in the case of
shutdown.bat, stopService.bat does not then stop the service or close the
window.
My installService.bat looks like:
service.bat install MyService
My removeService.bat looks like:
service.bat remove MyService
My startService.bat looks like:
"%CATALINA_HOME%/bin/tomcat5.exe" //TS//MyService
My stopService.bat looks like:
"%CATALINA_HOME%/bin/tomcat5.exe" //SS//MyService
Is it possible to make these start windows run in the background?
Thank you very much for your help.
