Executing a Server Side Executable via ASP

[da644]

Hi Everyone.

Is there anyway I can write a ASP script to execute a executable on the server from the script. For example, I have a batch file the restarts a service for me, but I would like to be able to execute from the web browser, any ideas???

Thanks.

Best Regards

One way is to create an activex dll (in vb or vc).
Since asp can access com (activex), then anything within that activex dll can be executed via a call to the activex dll.
Look into api calls or the "shell" command in vb.
There are many ways to solve this one, but the main point is that by creating your calls in an activex dll, you can issue a
Server.CreateObject("activexdll.ClassName) and then create an object that can in turn invoke anything within your activex dll from the web.
