I created a text file called RadioDownloader.bat containing the following batch commands:
start "" "C:\Program Files\Radio Downloader\Radio Downloader.exe" /hidemainwindow
timeout /nobreak /t 1500
start "" "C:\Program Files\Radio Downloader\Radio Downloader.exe" /exit
exit
The above instructions say to:
- Start Radio Downloader, with its main window minimised
- Wait for 1500 seconds (i.e. 25 minutes). This should allow enough time for podcasts to be downloaded. Note that the timeout command was added to the command shell in Windows Vista.
- Close Radio Downloader
- End the batch file. If you don't include this line then later on you'll find the command prompt window hanging around, unwanted.
Action: Start a program
Program/script: cmd
Add arguments: /c start "RadioDownloader" /min "D:\users\General\RadioDownloader.bat"
You can hide the window completely using Windows Script or other external programs, but I prefer the simplicity of this approach.
