run a powershell ps1 script hidden from view and scheduled on Task Scheduler for Windows
The script launcher¶
We need a script launcher as PowerShell scripts run in the foreground and we don't want the window of this script to appear at all.
This one can be a .vbs file that will be setup like this
- In Task Scheduler
- Action: Start a program
- Program/script: wscript
- Add arguments (optional): <path\to\the\.ps1\file>
Here is the .vbs script:
command = "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass C:\Users\Ismael\Documents\GitHub\djismgaming.github.io\blogupdate.ps1"
set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run command,0
