ericbailey2 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Greetings, I have been working on writing a script to back up the my documents folder using robocopy. I have it working but I was trying to make it less intrusive to the user. I don't want it interrupting workflow just to run a back up. I am almost there, Here is what I started with CODERunWait(@ComSpec & " /k " & "robocopy ""C:\Documents And Settings\" & $currUser & "\My Documents"" H:\ /MIR /E /V /NP /LOG:C:\BackupLogs\" & $currUser & ".txt /R:1 /W:30") It works, it copies great. I wanted to hide the command window so I added @SW_HIDE but this didn't work. After searching a bit I learned that the /k basically keeps the command window open after execution, so I removed it. It works, the only problem now is it flashes the command window up for a split second and then exits. Is it at all possible to hide this completely from the users view? and interaction? Current Script: CODERun(@ComSpec & " /c robocopy ""C:\Documents And Settings\eric.bailey2\My Documents"" H:\ /MIR /E /V /NP /LOG:C:\BackupLogs\Log.txt /R:1 /W:30" ) Thank you in advance!
ericbailey2 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 Try _RunDOS or ShellExecuteWow, I got it to work with your advice. I had to play with the syntax a little because I had no idea how to use either, but I got the _RunDos command to execute perfectly, thank you.
