A system I'm working on has a number of DOS type batch files that execute some FTP commands - there are quite a few of them, and they are set up in the windows scheduler to run every five minutes
It's as while since i've looked at this sort of thing, but there must be some way of getting them to run in the background - it's realy annoying to try and get something done and have these tasks take over the screen every minute or so

@echo off at the start of the batch file ?

I am assuming the scheduled task open a command prompt and it is this that is intrusive. Hence why an @echo off in the scripts will make no difference.

There are a couple of options:
@echo off
start /b file.bat
or,
look at Windows Script Host:

There's plenty of options - need to have a better understanding of the problem.
No point suggesting anything with the level of details provided.

Windows scheduler executes a number of batch files every five minutes
IIRC, and I can't check at the moment, there is no 'interaction', but the batch files simply execute some FTP commands - logging on to the ftp server, putting and getting files etc, then log out again - this can take a short while if there are many files or large files to be moved.
The real danger is that one might be in the middle of doing something important when one of these windows pops up, and they are a distraction, so I'd rather not have them pop up at all
anything else I can add ?
