BG_start




Description:

This program will start executables and batch script in the background. It was designed to launch scripts that use Zenity for the GUI (http://www.placella.com/software/zenity/), but I'm sure there could be plenty more uses for it. It should work for both Windows XP and Vista.

Downloads:

Win32 installer (includes source code): http://www.placella.com/software/bg_start/bg_start-0.0.1.exe
Just the source code: http://www.placella.com/software/bg_start/bg_start.c


Known issues:

1: Paths to scripts or executables you wish to run must not contain spaces. If they do, this program will fail to launch them and will not even return an error!

This will work:
    C:\ProgramFiles\MyScript.cmd
    C:\MyFolder\SomeScript.bat
This will NOT work:
    C:\Program Files\MyScript.cmd
    C:\MyFolder\Some Script.bat
