Net send/msdos Prompt 2

[Matilde]

How do I open a msdos prompt window in the background so the user can't see it and how do I run net send in it?

 

[jonscott8]

Try:
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
oShell.Run "command /C net send PC Que Pasa Amigo",0,True

Where do you get all the information on the commandoes. ex. how do you know that you have to write 0 and true?

Usually within Dos you can type the command with a /? after it. I can't test it out with net send as it appears not to be available in my version of DOS , but in principle it would be
net send /?

or possibly even
net /?

Matilde - you get that from the documentation, typically found in the MSDN. For more on the Run method, see:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/wsMthRun.asp

You get the command-line arguments of the NET SEND command as illustrated by LesleyW.

LesleyW - AFAIK, the NET SEND command is only available in NT/2000. Jon Hawkins

Use

net help send

for more detailed help.

I realized that when you net send somebody, they can recieve a maximum of 6 messages. Is there any way to increase this number of maximum messages recievable?

I'm aware of no such limitation. Would you mind sharing what lead you to "realize" this?

Paste the following into a file named message.bat.

net send %1 "Good Morning."
net send %1 "And"
net send %1 "Just"
net send %1 "in"
net send %1 "case"
net send %1 "I"
net send %1 "dont"
net send %1 "see"
net send %1 "you"
net send %1 "again,"
net send %1 "Good"
net send %1 "Afternoon,"
net send %1 "Good"
net send %1 "Evening,"
net send %1 "and"
net send %1 "Good"
net send %1 "Night!"

Then from the command line, call it like so:

message.bat YourUser Jon Hawkins

I realized this when i created a batch script that loops the net send command 20 times and then stops. Only 6 get through though and then thats it! This is when i became aware of that limitation.

Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
oShell.Run "command /C net send PC Que Pasa Amigo",0,True

in asp

Set oShell = SERVER.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
oShell.Run "command /C net send PC Que Pasa Amigo",0,True

NOTE THE "SERVER"

You can't use Wscript to create WScript object

This may be a late post but it seems I don't have such limitation(XP)
