Windows Batch script leaves console window open
You could use the /b parameter on START to start the application without opening another cmd window
START /b php\php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000 -c c:\nginx\php\php.iniUpdate:
It appears this is the behavior of php-cgi.exe. See this article for the full story and workaround. http://wiki.nginx.org/PHPFastCGIOnWindows
After being launched, php-cgi.exe will keep listening for connections in a command prompt window. To hide that window, use the tiny utility RunHiddenConsole
Basically, you just need to d/l and unzip RunHiddenConsole to your nginx directory, then change this line to:
RunHiddenConsole.exe php\php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000 -c c:\nginx\php\php.ini
You're looking for
start php\php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000 -c c:\nginx\php\php.ini /exit b
To run a .BAT Invisible you can use a simple vbs script.
Put this in a .VBS file :
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, FalseAnd then run your BAT like this :
wscript.exe "C:\invisible.vbs" "C:\YourBat.bat"
