How do I minimize the command prompt from my bat file

Question

I have this bat file and I want to minimize the cmd window when I run it:

@echo off
cd /d C:\\leads\\ssh 
call C:\\Ruby192\\bin\\setrbvars.bat
ruby C:\\leads         


        

Answer 1

Using PowerShell you can minimize from the same file without opening a new instance.

powershell -window minimized -command ""

Also -window hidden and -window normal is available to hide completely or restore.
