Can someone explain why sgminer automatically forces a terminal window to be open?

I really hate having the terminal open while I'm using the pc, so I was using the following vbs script to hide cgminer:

Code:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "F:\miner.bat", 0, True

It works perfectly fine with cgminer and runs the .bat file without issue, and without a CMD window, but whenever I try using it with sgminer it will force open a CMD window. The above vbs script will open the sgminer bat file without issue, and sgminer will run without issue, but it will sit there in a CMD window.

Any way to get this to work similar to cgminer, without a CMD window?

Scheduled Tasks: start on logon -> inv.cmd:

Quote

wscript.exe "C:\Coins\invisible.vbs" "C:\Coins\start_miner_bg.cmd"
exit

-> invisible.vbs:

Quote

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False

+ start_miner_bg.cmd:

Quote

@echo off
cd "C:\Coins\sgminer-5.0-daily-20140712-15-win32\"
6950_7950_Powercolor_Stock-p8h6v_BG.cmd

+ 6950_7950_Powercolor_Stock-p8h6v_BG.cmd:

Quote

@echo off
....date crap...
sgminer -c 6950_7950_Powercolor_Stock-p8h6v_multi_BG.conf 2>c:\log\sgminer_%ldt%_bg.log
exit

Works for me on Win7.

Thanks, turned out what I needed to do was get rid of the bat file and run sgminer.exe direct through the vbs script, with a config file.

I have no idea why, but it works fine. Thanks
