Hello!

I am trying to have a batch file run every 10 minutes, which kills two processes and then restarts them.
Now, I want this to run hidden (which I have basically covered), so I don't get thrown out to the desktop, if I play games while the batch file executes.

My problem: The taskkiller has some kind of "feedback" or "report", which briefly opens a cmd window saying something like "Succuss bla bla killed guiminer" or "Failed bla bla guiminer is not running". This window appears and disappears instantly, so it drags me out to the desktop but I can never see what it actually says precisely.

This is my .vbs script, which runs the batch hidden:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "G:\Users\Sebz4n_GAME_OS2\Desktop\Restart GUIMiner.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

This is my batch file, which is running quietly (hidden):

start TASKKILL /F /IM "guiminer.exe"
start TASKKILL /F /IM "poclbm.exe"
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 > NUL
start /d "G:\Users\Sebz4n_GAME_OS2\Desktop\GUIMiner\" miner.lnk

So, how do I stop it from giving said "report" ??
Is there an easier way of doing this (Running batch hidden/Restarting a program every 10 minutes)

The report is from the taskkiller, and it says something about the PID's of the .exe files not being found or so, even though it does work.
Can I disable this error message? I tried redirecting the commands to a text file by setting it up this way, but it didn't work:

start TASKKILL /F /IM "guiminer.exe" > testlog1.txt
start TASKKILL /F /IM "poclbm.exe" > testlog1.txt
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 > NUL
start /d "G:\Users\Sebz4n_GAME_OS2\Desktop\GUIMiner\" miner.lnk

Ohh, batch programming, my favorite!!!

Have you tried running the batch w/ administrative rights?

Also, as a sanity check, try putting a pause command after the taskkill calls, so we can see the output. So,

start TASKKILL /F /IM "guiminer.exe"
pause
start TASKKILL /F /IM "poclbm.exe"
pause
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 > NUL
start /d "G:\Users\Sebz4n_GAME_OS2\Desktop\GUIMiner\" miner.lnk

EDIT: I'm silly. Try the above, but let's also look at the following:

Using START will open the command in a separate window...

So let's get rid of the start calls! Try this:

TASKKILL /F /IM "guiminer.exe" > nul
TASKKILL /F /IM "poclbm.exe" > nul
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 > NUL 
start /d "G:\Users\Sebz4n_GAME_OS2\Desktop\GUIMiner\" miner.lnk
