Scheduled Jobs

[RobDavis]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to SQLyog. It's a superb program that's doing all I need but it would be great to be able to minimize the svhosts window that pops up when I do a scheduled event to grab data from a remote ODBC source. I'm probably being thick but I can't find any way to do it. I've tried creating a link to the xml file and using that minimized as the command in the sheduled event but it's still svhosts that pops up.

Anybody any ideas?

I am not sure about what you see ('svhost window' doesn't mean anything to me).

So I can't tell if it is normal or not.

Please drop a screenshot!

Sorry, that should have read svchost.exe (in XP). Apologies.

Here is the screen shot as requested.

Thanks … I got the point. It is svchost.exe that is displayed because it is a scheduled job. I did not realize that.

I can make a job run minimized starting like this:

When you have created the shortcut you can right-click it and from the 'shortcut' tab choose 'run as minimized' (what it is exactly in English I don't know – but something similar!) It works fine here.

But I have not succeeded in trying to run a scheduled job minimized. I don't know if it can be done when scheduling a command-line tool like SJA at all. An attempt to schedule a shortcut fails here.
