How to start syncthing while hiding the terminal

Support
1

When I was using Electron to enable the Sync Thing service, I used spawn to enable the Sync Thing service, but it would open a terminal. My code is as follows this.process = spawn(exePath, args, { detached: true, windowsHide: true, //Hide Window stdio: [‘ignore’, ‘pipe’, ‘pipe’], }); I want to hide this terminal window, but I can’t do it. I had to use VBScript to hide the window, but I think there’s a problem. I don’t have a terminal when using spawn on Mac, it’s only available on Windows. Has anyone encountered this problem? How can I solve it

It’s “Syncthing”.

See Syncthing — Syncthing documentation and use the —-no-console option when starting Syncthing.

Thanks for the tip about no-console. Just tried adding it to my spawn args on Windows, and it worked, no terminal popup now. Appreciate the help!

emmmm。。。 I tried using it and prepared a set of parameters as follows const args = [ ‘- -no-browser’, ‘- -no-console’, ‘- -no-default-folder’, ‘-home’, ‘-logfile’, ];

Then enable this. process=spawn (exePath, args, spawnOptions); exePathis my available path, spawnOptions is another configuration. Even if I enable it like this, the terminal window still pops up. Why is this? Did I use it incorrectly? Can you help me

Starting Syncthing Automatically

There are no spaces in options like --no-console.

I used electron+syncting for the project, so I started syncing using the spwan of the node. I added these configurations in args,and the code is as follows,

const args = [ ‘–no-browser’, ‘–no-console’, ‘–no-default-folder’, ‘-home’, ‘-logfile’, ]

this. process=spawn (exePath, args, spawnOptions);

but when enabled, it still appears

Sorry, I do not know what you are talking about. Please read the extensive docs!

Please keep in mind that --no-console only works when using the Command Prompt as the default terminal application. It does not work when using the new Windows Terminal (which is the default in Windows 11).
