Script Automatically opens ESTK

I have a script running which pulls a file from photoshop and places it in a specific Illustrator template.

The script runs fine, but every time it has to open the ESTK before it completes. This adds an extra 5 seconds of wait time while the program opens. I've never had a script do this before, although this is my first cross-application script using BridgeTalk if that makes a difference. I'm really just wondering why this happens and how to stop it.

Check the script for a line that had $.write() or $.writeln(). Those commands will output to the ESTK console and are often used while debugging a script. But they will cause ESTK to open. If you find any, they should be safe to delete. Or you could comment the line out. If the line is part of the BridgeTalk message be sure to use block comment /*comment*/ A line comment // could cause an eval error.
