A simple C# Windows app that can be used for launching any console app and saving output to a file, without showing any window.

I used it for backing up my GMail daily with Gmvault (via Task Scheduler as suggested here: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/AutomaticallyBackupYourGmailAccountOnAScheduleWithGMVaultAndWindowsTaskScheduler.aspx).

Of course it can be implemented via a script, for example PowerShell, but I decided that C# would be easier to test and I like it more :) Also I am not sure if there is a simple way to hide PowerShell window so it would not flash every day.

Usage:

GMVaultLauncher app_path log_dir args

Example:

GMVaultLauncher gmvault.bat logs\ sync -t quick name@gmail.com -e
