AutoIt Icon Flashes Rapidly

[themush1326]

Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 1) ; 1 means errors will popup. Set to zero for prod.

Opt("TrayIconHide",1)

RunWait(@comspec & ' /c echo y|chkdsk /f ')

The only way to make it stop is right click and exit several time.

Any help would be appreciated

by 'it stop' you mean the script or the chkdsk? try using run instead of run wait if you want the script to close after it launches the chkdsk

By stop it mean the only way to stop the Autoit icon from flashing.

The check should kick off after a reboot.

I've never seen the icon do this.

it seems to be tied to this script.

runs fine for me, the autoit icon is hidden as expected....is the just like your startup folder?

What did you name the script ?

Opt("TrayIconHide",1) : The icon will still initially appear ~750 milliseconds.

#NoTrayIcon wont show it at all

No I can see the AutoIt icon in the tray, I can right click it and see script paused or exit

not possible when you have #NoTrayIcon in the script.

Do you have an chkdsk.exe in the script directory ? (old script or something ? )

sometimes its right under your nose but you are too close to see ...

[themush1326]

Is there a way to hide this window while chkdsk.exe runs?

This is the line I'm using to execute

RunWait(@comspec & ' /c chkdsk >c:\errors.txt')

thanks

Look at the third parameter for RunWait...

[themush1326]

Look at the third parameter for RunWait...

RunWait(@comspec & ' /c chkdsk >c:\errors.txt' & @SW_HIDE)

Window Doesnt hide

RunWait(@comspec & ' /c chkdsk >c:\errors.txt', @SW_HIDE)

Error unable to execute external program

thanks

[Jos]

RunWait(@comspec & ' /c chkdsk >c:\errors.txt',"", @SW_HIDE)

[themush1326]

RunWait(@comspec & ' /c chkdsk >c:\errors.txt',"", @SW_HIDE)

thanks

Can you explain why the "" is needed before @sw_hide.
