I am trying to run a command from a node.js app that's installed on the machine. The command runs fine (it is a command to launches Tomcat). However, the command I run actually open the command line window that is launching Tomcat. Is there a way to do the same thing (run the same command to launch Tomcat) but without the command line window opening up?
Let me know if you need more info!
Your problem isn't with node.js but rather with tomcat. You are probably running the wrong command.
instead of calling catalina.bat start, rather call catalina.bat run.
alternatively you can set it up as a service and call net start tomcatX
