SonofonoS Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 HiI'm trying to run the following command when a torrents has finished downloading."c:\program files\winrar\unrar.exe" x "%D\*.r*" "%D\%N"It's working great but I have one problem. When a torrent is finished a console-window opens to display the unraring progress. Since its my nas/htpc thats doing the work it happens once in a while when I'm watching a movie or something. Since the unraring progress is not really a spectators game, I would love if I was able to run that unrar-command in the background without the console window popping up. Does anyone know if that is possible?SonofonoS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Checking the help file of my (old) winrar tells me something like "-ibck" switch.http://www.downloadatoz.com/utility_directory/winrar/manual/html/HELPSwIBCK.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofonoS Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks alot.I just learned a new thing today. Winrar.exe can also be run as a command line program. So adding -ibck and switching unrar.exe with winrar.exe did the job. So now my run command is as follows:"c:\program files\winrar\winrar.exe" x -ibck -ad "%D\*.r*" "%D"It unrars all .r* files to the subfolder with the rar-archive name. And it does it all in the background and doesn't disturb my movie watching. Now I just have to figure out those archives thats named .part* maybe just remove the 'r' in the "%D\*.r*" part so it just tried to unrar everything in that folder. Couldn't hurt to try.
