Hi guys, just popping my head in with a quick question. I apologise if this has been covered but I can't find any info on it, and I'm not a programmer, so I don't have the knowledge. I am trying to hide the output of Blago's miner, so that the executable runs windowless. I have tried using the "start" command through a batch file, as well as redirecting stderr and stdout to nul, and neither of these are working for me, and as I understand it, the way I am trying to implement it would not work.
My current batch file to start the miner is
start miner.exe 2&>1 > nul
PAUSE
As I understand it, this redirects the output of the Command Window to nul after starting Blago's Miner, not Blago's miner. Using "start" assures the cmd window disappears after running blago's miner, and I understand how redirecting stderr and stdout work, but I do not know how to redirect the output of Blago's miner to nul. Is this even possible with a batch script, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks in advance everyone, and I love all the thought and discussion that's been going on in BURST lately, even through the fud and trolling/scamming/threatening. I apologise for not having anything meaningful to contribute to the community other then mining, investing and trading, but keep up the good work everyone, and hopefully we can all decide on a good dev strategy for BURST.
You're not going to be able to do it from a batch fileany console app is going to require a console window to run in, even if all output is redirected.
What might work is some of the apps to run any app as a service. eg

May be good for BURST.
But that won't work if GPU is involved. Starting from Vista services are executed in the separate terminal session #0 and don't have access to GPUs.
There's simplier method. Run taskschd.msc, create scheduled task, set "SYSTEM" for the account.
To run task use console program "schtasks"
Another option is to "startmin" - it will run window minimized.
And if you have some very basic C knowledge, its possible to write very simple program in C. It will call API function CreateProcess with CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag.
Someone posted example in comments :
