wget and execwait
I have wget being called from execwait and its working well, to run a remote coldfusion script on a server.

ExecWait "$TEMP\${gossTemp}\wget\wget.exe http://localhost/icm/adminAPI/write.cfm"

This works perfectly well, it pops up a DOS CMD window when doing the work, is there anyway to start this DOS window minimized or hide it completely, its only on the screen for about 0.5 seconds anyway so it doesnt really matter.

starting it minimized or just executing it with no CMD window appearing would be fantastic, obviously I understand the CMD window has to be loaded in order to run the wget executable, I was just throwing this out there to see if anyone had any suggestions.

Thanks a lot people! :)

See included plugin NsExec, it is suitable for console applications.

Also check other NsExec options (logging) might be helpful for your work :-)
