How to run a command line command from asp

[howardnl]

Hi,

I need to be able to run a command line command from within asp. How can that be done? I am going to have a user select an option from a list and based on their input run something from the command line. From what I've seen so far, I need to use Wscript.shell, is that right? Thanks for any help.

Thanks

Yes, that is correct. You must be running Win2K or NT with at least SP4 or 5 to use WSH.

<%
  Dim oWSH: oWSH = Server.CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot;)
  oWSH.Run (fullpath to exe, 1, True (or False) to wait)
%>

or something like that.
