I'm curious that this works without having to use the "cmd.exe /c start" formulation. My original testing showed that the SqueezeCenter process was stuck until the system command returned. So, I was using "start" as a poor-man's "fork" (just as I'm using "sudo" in the same capacity on linux systems).
I'm wondering now if SCPowerTool.exe, because it's not a console app but rather a "real" Win32 app that just happens to not create a window, somehow obviates the need for "start". Normally, I wouldn't think so, especially since SCPowerTool doesn't service a message loop unless the warning/cancel dialog box is invoked via the "--wait=nn" argument. Anyway, thanks for the report. This is interesting. PS: Other than putting SCPowerTool.exe in c:\temp, is there an unprotected folder on a Vista system where you would suggest the default installation of SCPowerTool.exe ought to go? -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
