thesuffering Wrote:correct me if im wrong but if i want to run the command prompt hidden so it doesnt interfere with xbmc or annoy me i could do this, no?

Code:

start /WAIT 'path to sickbeard-pp-script (the exe)'
filename.js

and then have filename.js contain this

Code:

var WindowStyle_Hidden = 0
var objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
var result = objShell.Run("cmd.exe /c abc.bat", WindowStyle_Hidden)

where abc.bat is

Code:

icacls "c:\media directory\*.*" /t /grant Everyone:R

Quote:if i want command prompt to quit after its done do i have to add exit on the 2nd line or will it do it automatically?

What link do you get? Sometimes the update-routine does not work that well, I always prefer to do a manual update.

If you want to run the "start" command in a hidden-window, that is not a problem at all (the primary console-window from the bat-file won't open). Just change the command to:

Code:

start /wait /b 'path to sickbeard-pp-script (the exe)'

This way - if you would run the bat-file manually - it would pop up only one window. Sabnzbd hides the first window that will pop up if you run the script, so you shouldn't see any of it.

It *should* exit by itself, but sometimes sab has a problem with that (or rather windows, but that is not the point here...) and the script hangs in the background and the download gets never finished by sab. You could use "exit" at the end of file... if it still hangs in the background (just check in the taskmanager after you downloaded something with sab) use "exit /b".

HenryFord Wrote:It should be "sabToSickBeard.exe", and normally it is located in "AutoProcess TV"-subfolder of sickbeard.
