I'm using window scheduler. I found a way :

Save this one line of text as file invisible.vbs:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False

To run any program or batch file invisibly, use it like this:

wscript.exe "C:\Wherever\invisible.vbs" "C:\Some Other Place\MyBatchFile.bat"

thanx

It really depends on the programming language and platform you are using.

In Windows, using the C# language on the .NET platform, it is:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\myfile.bat");

You can try to run the batch file as a windows service. You will perhaps need to have admin previleges on your host to do this, but if you want to go for it, its easy to add/configure using sc command.
