Hi All,

I am tryign to start the tomcat server in a hidden mode - but the following script fails to start the server.

what am I missing?

Run ("C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\bin\startup.bat", "", @SW_HIDE)

[w0uter]

AFAIK you can either:

A) recode the batches to autoit (lots of work)

just use WinSetState(,@SW_HIDE) after you have run the batch.

thats about all i can think of, i would go for B.

Thanks for the help! But the problem is that even a simple run statement (below) does not start the server!

run ("C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\bin\startup.bat")

[qwertyqwerty]

solved the problem!! catalina_home env variable need to be declared in order to run the bat file from command line!!

RunWait("c:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\bin\startup.bat")

WinWaitActive ("Tomcat", "")

WinSetState ("Tomcat", "", @SW_HIDE)

Thanks so much w0uter !!
