Looking for a way to automate a cmd command and make it silent

[Pamamolf]

Hi

I am looking for a way to silent run (without pop up of shell window) this command (to clean all windows event logs) from cmd if it is possible :

for /f %x in ('wevtutil el') do wevtutil cl "%x"

or from a bat file using this one that works but invisible again:

for /f %%x in ('wevtutil el') do wevtutil cl "%%x"

Thanks

You need to use a "third party" tool capable of hiding the command window, these could range from a "simpler, hide only" tool, like cmdow or similar:

up to a "general helper" such as Nircmd:

You'll most probably need to deal with the UAC/Administrator prompt, however.

I think bat to exe converter a can hide the command line window. It has been a long time since I have used that though.

You can use a VBS script to not show any windows 

Example

'-> Constants For The Various Window States
Const Hide = 0, Norm = 1, Min = 2, Max =3 
'-> Object For Runtime
Dim Act :Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
'-> Hidden Window And No Wait For The Script
 Act.Run("%comspec% /C @Echo Off && CLS && Echo. && Echo Test &&  ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul"),0,False
'-> Show The Normal Window And Wait For The Script To Finish
' Act.Run("%comspec% /C @Echo Off && CLS && Echo. && Echo Test &&  ping -n 3 127.0.0.1>nul"),1,True

Confused on how to edit this vbs with the two commands that i want to use:

for /f %x in ('wevtutil el') do wevtutil cl "%x"

vssadmin delete shadows /for=c: /all /quiet

Also is it possible to enable admin rights with it but quiet without any prompt or visible window?

Not possible?
