CLI — RUN a batch file with MINIMIZED window

MACaddr

SYNTAX

cmd.exe /c start /min myfile.bat ^& exit

cmd /c start notepad

cmd /c start /min cmd /k notepad
  • the *.exe is needed as start is no windows command that can be executed outside a batch
  • /c = exit after the start is finished
  • the ^& exit part ensures that the window closes even if the batch does not end with exit


Running PuTTY
@echo off
cmd /c start <path:\putty.exe> <username>@server -P <port#> ^& exit

example: 
cmd /c start c:\Users\User1\Desktop\putty.exe user@aa.bb.cc.dd -P 22 ^& exit
cmd /c start putty.exe user1@aa.bb.cc.dd -P 22 ^& exit
