run vlc without showing window

http://askubuntu.com – I'm using vlc to capture an image from my webcam by running the following command: cvlc v4l2:///dev/webcam --no-audio --run-time 5 --scene-path $PWD \ --scene-replace --scene-format png --video-filter scene vlc://quit . It works great except that I'm running this command in a cron job and it opens a player window for the duration of the capture, which gets in the way of me doing other stuff. Is there any way to hide this window? Can I tell vlc NOT to display this window whenever it runs? I looked at the help docs but couldn't find anything relevant in there. thanks! (HowTos)

I created two bootable USB: Lubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 from my windows machine.

SCENE 1

I installed Ubuntu 12.04, everything is fine. A popup window appears that says something like "I have successfully installed the operating system and a reboot is required." I am about to click the reboot now button, when the electricity went off (No laptop battery, dammit)!
