also, what is the option/switch to start the GUI minimized to tray please? I'm using the following and if i run the batch file, it will re-open the GUI but not minimized.
if i run it from task scheduler, it will re-open fancyccv but it will not be in the tray, can only see it re appear in task manager.
the intended use is to schedule closing of the gui if its running, pause the caches for a set period of time, unpause the caches, then re-open the gui minimzed to the tray.
Code: Select all
@echo off
taskkill /f /im fancyccv.exe
cd "C:\Program Files\PrimoCache"
rxpcc pause -a -s
timeout 28800
rxpcc resume -a -s
start fancyccv.exe

This works if the option "Minimize to the system tray when closed" is not checked. Otherwise it is just minimized to the system tray.

thank you for the replies. so it sounds like i will have to choose one or the other basically. I cant have it close gracefully and still have it close to the tray while in use then.
any drawbacks to forcing it closed? it runs as a driver/service right? so forcing closed the gui shouldnt have any implications?

The gui program is just a user interface to create/close the cache task. It is not necessary to run after you create cache tasks. Caching tasks are working in the driver level. So no harmful to force it closed.
