Hide console and execute applications in background

Project description

Hidden Console Start ⚙️

Hide console and execute applications in background. HCS (Hidden Console Start) is a good alternative to simulate background process (process &) as in GNU/Linux systems.

GNU/Linux

$ ping 127.0.0.1 > log.txt &

Windows

$ hcs -e "ping 127.0.0.1 > log.txt"

What can I do with HCS?

  • Launch applications in background

  • Launch all the processes that you want with one call to HCS (one subprocess in one thread for each application)

Installation

You can install or upgrade HCS with:

$ pip install hcs --upgrade

Or you can install from source with:

$ git clone https://github.com/RDCH106/hidden_console_start.git --recursive
$ cd hidden_console_start
$ pip install .

Quick example

$ hcs -e "ping 127.0.0.1 > log.txt" "mspaint"

The example executes ping to 127.0.0.1 redirecting the result to log.txt file and launch Microsoft Paint at the same time.
