Determine how script was launched 1

[withanh]

I'm trying to determine how a script was launched then run a sub based on this.

For example, if a script was launched by Task Scheduler then write a line into a log file saying 'scheduled launch' but if it was run manually then write a different line into the log file saying 'manual launch'.

The only part I need help with is determining how the script was launched, and I really have no idea how to do that.

If there's no flags I can check, then I'm thinking of adding an argument to the scheduled task and do a check like:
if args > 0 then SubX else SubY

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Add an argument to the scheduled task and then play with the WScript.Arguments collection

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks. That's pretty much what I was thinking. I wasn't sure if there was a better 'native' way to tell what launched the script.
