Launching programs on the webserver via asp

[dopehead]

Hi There

How do i launch a piece of cmdline software on the webserver in an asp script with parameters and then parse the result into some type of variabel ?

try this

cmd1 = "netsend BertyBigBalls Hi"

set objWSH = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
result1 = objWSH.Run( cmd1, 1, False )

It looks like simonchristieis has the code to make it run, I'd love to know how to get the values returned to asp as well.

Yaeh, thats my main concern as well, result1 contains either 0 or 1 i think, it does not return the output from the cmdline appl. to the console.

How exactly would you get that data into the script ?

Hey i found a piece of code that does the trick :

<% Response.Buffer = true %>
<%
url = &quot;

http://www.boyakasha.dk&quot;

Set objWShell = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot
Set objCmd = objWShell.Exec(&quot;ping &quot; & url)
strPResult = objCmd.StdOut.Readall()
set objCmd = nothing: Set objWShell = nothing

strStatus = &quot;offline&quot;
if InStr(strPResult,&quot;TTL=&quot>0 then strStatus = &quot;online&quot;

response.write url & &quot; is &quot; & strStatus
response.write &quot;.<br>&quot; & replace(strPResult,vbCrLf,&quot;<br>&quot
%>

This will start a ping and pipe the output top the browser....coool
