ASP spawning vbscript

[westmanm]

I'm trying to get an ASP script to spawn another VBScript. I can run the VBScript manually from command-line, but when I try to get the ASP page to run it, nothing happens. Can anybody tell me what's going on here?

Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
oShell.Run "%ComSpec% /c wscript c:\home\hnt5c126\secure\notify.vbs FBF69696969", 0, false

Also, what does the ,0 ,false mean?

Thanks
Mike

Hello westmanm,

[1] Second parameter intWindowStyle = 0 means "Hides the window and activates another window". Practically, it means running on the backgroud.
[2] Third parameter bWaitOnReturn = false means "return immediately after starting the program, automatically returning 0 (not to be interpreted as an error code)". In practice, it means run the cmd line asychronously.
[3] As server is not a user, your notify.vbs should not contain any interactive device also host the script with cscript rather than wscript would be better.
