I want to launch an Aspect script (.wax) for Direct Deposit to the bank as a cgi-bin from HTTP web server.
How can I launch PW5.exe DirectDeposit.wax in silent mode (/TRAY ?) so it wont be hung waiting for a screen ?
Can I write an Aspect script so someone can click a URL that will launch the .wax program to do the commands to upload a direct deposit file to the bank ?
Thanks

Haven't had a chance to test this yet and has been a while since I've tried this, but one thing you are going to make sure is that the PC is configured to launch .wax files in Procomm and not Windows Media Player (I have directions on how to change this at my site).

As for opening to the tray, you'll probably need to search for .wax in the registry after making the change mentioned above and add /TRAY to the command line (will be something like pw5.exe %1 I think). Keep in mind that the Procomm splash screen will still appear when it is launched.

It works as cgi-bin, I put this page DDeposit.cgi and put it on the cgi-bin directory.
I use /TRAY to minimize it and send it to background (with ampersand & ).
