does anyone know of a way to run a php script executed in a command line prompt in background mode, ie. it is not visible to the user when it is executed. the reason i want to do this is because i need to run cron tasks of a particular php script but i dont want the dos prompt window to show up on the desktop every time the script executes as i have it set to executing every 15 mins and this would no doubt be extremely annoying for a user to see a dos window opening every 15 mins...

Somehow i have trouble believing that a user will see HIS/HER prompt window being opened for a cron job ?!
