Running a scheduled task as SYSTEM with console window open

I am auto creating scheduled tasks with this line within a batch windows script:




schtasks /Create /RU SYSTEM /RP SYSTEM /TN startup-task-%%i /TR %SPEEDWAY_DIR%\%TARGET_DIR%%%i\%STARTUPFILE% /SC HOURLY /MO 1 /ST 17:%%i1:00


I wanted to avoid using specific user credentials and thus decided to use SYSTEM.



Now, when checking in the taskmanagers process list or, even better, directly with the



C:\> schtasks



command itself, all is working well, the tasks are running as intended.



However in this particular case I would like to have an open console window where I can see the log flying by.



I know I could use



C:\> tail -f thelogfile.log



if I installed e.g. cygwin (on all machines) or some proprietary tools like Baretail on Windows. But since I only switch to these machines in case of trouble, I would prefer to start the scheduled task in such a way that every user immediately sees the log.



Any chance?



Thanks!
