The Task Manager is more of a process listing, like "ps" or "top" in Linux. In the Windows command-line interface (cmd.exe), type "start /?" to give you an idea of what your options are. As far as "in the background" goes, Vista's task scheduler can hide the programs it executes from being viewed by the user. Pre-vista, I think you can just minimize it (unless it's run on a different account on the same machine other than the one logged in)... start /min /b php myscript.php The "/b" option MIGHT prevent pre-Vista machines from showing the user that a task is being executed. If it doesn't, then at least "/min" will keep the window minimized rather than slapping them in the face with it.
