How can I execute a command from command line in back ground - vbscript

Question

I have written vb script to run jar command from windows command line in foreground
'File paths
processFile = "java -jar doSomething.jar C:\folder1\subFolder1 C:\folder2\subFolder2"
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
objShell .run "cmd /k CD C:\VBScriptfolder\script" 'Path to vbscript which contains command to run from command line
WScript.Sleep 5000
Wait(5)
objShell .SendKeys processFile
WScript.Sleep 3000
Wait(3)
objShell .SendKeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Sleep 40000
Wait(60)
objShell .SendKeys "exit{ENTER}"
But my question is that how to run above command from command line which execute the command in background instead of foreground.

Try to build your command line and debug it with wscript.echo.
And, if you feel that it is correct , you should comment the wscript.echo and uncomment this line Call Run(StrCmd,0,False) 'Hiding the console
Option Explicit
Dim StrCmd,Path,processFile
Path = "C:\VBScriptfolder\script" 'Path to vbscript which contains command to run from command line
processFile = "java -jar doSomething.jar C:\folder1\subFolder1 C:\folder2\subFolder2"
StrCmd = "CD /D "& Path & " & " & processFile &""
wscript.echo StrCmd
'Call Run(StrCmd,1,False) 'Showing the console
'Call Run(StrCmd,0,False) 'Hiding the console
'**********************************************************************************************
Function Run(StrCmd,Console,bWaitOnReturn)
Dim ws,MyCmd,Result
Set ws = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
'A value of 0 to hide the MS-DOS console
If Console = 0 Then
MyCmd = "CMD /C " & StrCmd & ""
Result = ws.run(MyCmd,Console,bWaitOnReturn)
If Result = 0 Then
'MsgBox "Success"
Else
MsgBox "An unknown error has occurred!",16,"An unknown error has occurred!"
End If
End If
'A value of 1 to show the MS-DOS console
If Console = 1 Then
MyCmd = "CMD /K " & StrCmd & ""
Result = ws.run(MyCmd,Console,bWaitOnReturn)
If Result = 0 Then
'MsgBox "Success"
Else
MsgBox "An unknown error has occurred!",16,"An unknown error has occurred!"
End If
End If
Run = Result
End Function
