Suppress UI dialog when controlling client from batch file

Submitted by MarkoD on #1

Hi Michael,

We are running commands on the VirtualHere Windows client from a batch file. After running commands listed in https://www.virtualhere.com/client_configuration_faq, such as:

vhui64.exe -t "STOP USING,<server>.<port>"

We get the result (OK) in a small Windows dialog and have to press the dialog's "OK" button in order for the script to continue.

However, when running the exact same command from the command line (cmd.exe), the client just prints the result to the console window.

PS: We are running the VirtualHere client as a Windows service.

Thanks for any insights!

Marko

Use the -r argument, eg. vhui64.exe -t "STOP USING,<server>.<port>" - r out.txt

That redirects the output to a file, right? Is there a way to know if the command completed successfully without needing to parse the output file? Such as comparing the exit code with 0?

No, you need to parse the file.

Actually, yes i forgot about that. It works, just try it e.g

test.bat

vhui64.exe -t "USE,nanopi-neo3.514"
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
