Well that quirk in start syntax is really a PITA, but speaking of workarounds, I prefer the
Start "" "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\winvnc4.exe" ...approach. It avoids the path or copy trick. But this is strictly a taste issue ;-) Regards, ______________________ Jzlio Costa -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alex K. Angelopoulos Sent: terga-feira, 17 de Agosto de 2004 7:18 To: RealVNC List Subject: WinVNC4 - command prompt blocked even if launching with -noconsole I haven't seen this mentioned in the mailing list - please let me know if I overlooked a prior discussion of it. When launching WinVNC4 from a command prompt on XP Pro SP2 (obviously in user mode), the console remains blocked even if the -noconsole switch is specified. I would suggest that the -noconsole "should" mean that it detaches from a command shell window even if it is started from one - but this is open to debate since we don't exactly have ISO standards for Windows commandline parameters... ;) This is not a high priority problem AFAICS since there are workarounds using the start command. Since the start command has a quirk that makes this less than obvious (it interprets the first unnamed argument surrounded by quotes it encounters as a command prompt window title) I'll document it here - feel free to requote/adapt. (1) If winvnc4. exe is in the usual location - for example, "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\winvnc4.exe" - it can be started by specifying the start directory with the /D command, like this: start /D"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4" winvnc4.exe (2) Add the VNC4 folder to your path -or- copy the binaries to a directory already in your path. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list ------------------------------------------ This message may contain confidential information or privileged material, and is intended only for the individual(s) named.
