I'm trying to execute a Windows command in ASP. For example, this is a snippet of what I have right now: .... Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run("notepad", 1, true) Set WshShell = Nothing
The strange thing is that notepad.exe actually appears under the list of processes in Task Manager, but its window does not show up on the server's desktop; the client's browser just sort of hangs. I'm led to believe that this has something to do with IIS permissions, but I'm not certain.
Currently, I move a application from win 2000 server to 2003 server, I use some vbs file in this application, however, it seems that those vbs file can not be run from 2003 server. Below is my code, can some one point out what did I do wrong here?
DIm objShell Set objShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run(ExeName) Set objShell = Nothing
I am currently in the process of converting a website from an existing web host to our servers. This website used the WScript.Shell command to execute a series of Java commands that would send an encrypted email.
I ran these commands directly on the server and they execute properly, but when I try to run them from within the WScript.Shell command then I get a return code of 1, and the actions that should be completed are not.
The shell is executing a .bat file which is in the same directory the text files it needs to run the following sample command(s): Code:
I am trying to run a command line from an ASP page. I am using windows 2003 with IIS6. I am able to get this to run on my local machine (Windows XP IIS5). Here is my code:
For win2k adv server/iis5.0 trying to run an external program from my asp routine that has multiple parameters, see following.
set shell = server.createobject("wscript.shell") shell.Run """f:phsDatahtmldochtmldoc.exe"" --webpage -f phsnew.pdf phsnew.htm"
program either doesn't get invoked, or has an error, but since it has no error log i can't check that, so not sure why not getting a result i have run the program successfully from the command line in that directory, so know it can be run in the first place and the asp program creates and writes files in the same directory so i don't think its a permission problem. asp doesn't complain with any errors.
I am trying to use the Run method of WScript.Shell to run a program that creates image files on the server. When I run the program through the command line it creates a text file and a bmp file which is what it is supposed to do.
If I run it from an asp page it doesnt do anything, it also doesnt give me any error messages. I can run the same vbscript code in a standalone vbs file on the server and it works right. Code:
I've been testing the WScript.Shell object and the Run command now for a server query. The file I am running generates a file with the server querys which i later on parse in my page. But there is a problem. When running the Run command om my Windows XP machine it all seems fine. But when trying to run it on my webserver (not configured by myself) I get an error, or the command fails. It's nothing wrong with the acctuall command but ASP seems to not want to allow the Run command.
First I though it had to do with user privilegies but after giving the IUSR_X full access it didn't help. So, does anybody know a solution for this? Exactly what do I have to configure, for what user, to make this work on my webserver (win2k).
Trying to view asp page which has the following code in Set obj = WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Shell')
It falls over on this line saying 'Activex cannot create component (wscript.shell)'. Doing the same in a .vbs file results in the same error. The platform is NT4 Server Service Pack 6a.
I've made an ASP page that calls a small executable and collects its text output into a variable ("strExeOut") below. Below is some code similar to the one I use for that purpose.
strExe = "C:whatevermyprogram.exe -h1 -d33"
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objScriptExec = objShell.Exec(strExe) strExeOut = objScriptExec.StdOut.ReadAll
I developed this in my own computer and the whole thing works like a charm, but unfortunately I assumed my hosting provider would let me run the (little and harmless) exe, and they won't.
Therefore I have to run only the "exe" portion of the code in another web server and send back the output to my website on the net. I'd like to get some feedback on what would be the best way to call an exe on another server, and to have the output sent back.
I have a big problem with some part of my code, where I'm using the wscript.shell method to open a file...
I've tried this:
dim shell set shell= createobject("wscript.shell") shell.run "C:Clip_CreatorTVSA02.bat" set shell=nothing
and this
Function fnShellExecuteVB() dim objShell set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") objShell.ShellExecute "C:WINNT otepad.exe", "", "", "open",1 set objShell = nothing End Function
I don't get any error but the application doesn't starts, I've also tried executing the notepad.exe and occurrs the same, nothing happens, I don't get error but the notepad doesnt lunch...
I'm getting tired about this code, I've tried a lot of kinds of scripts but I got the same result...
I have a process that creates a whole bunch of files in a specified directory. The names of the files are the employee IDs with an .txt extension, so they are like
EMP001.txt EMP002.txt EMP003.txt
The background is a bit more complicated so I won't bore you with it, but I hope that I can add a button on the asp page that would
1) go to that specified directory, which is database-driven by the department id, such as
D:DepartmentDEPT001
and I'll be able to figure the directory path from the existing code
2) then loop through each employee id and append the employee name, so the above will become
The employee names are also database driven and my asp page will be able to provide the information.
What I would like is to have a button that would open the cmd.exe and make the appropriate changes, and then do the rename, and then close the cmd window.
dim oShell set oShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.shell") oShell.run ("C:WINNTsystem32cmd.exe /c C:WINNTsystem32 otepad.exe") set oShell=nothing
works as expected in the context of a .vbs script and doesn't work (with the following changes made...) when inserted in a .asp web page under IIS ?
dim oShell set oShell=Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ' intReturn = oShell.run ("C:WINNTsystem32cmd.exe /c C:WINNTsystem32 otepad.exe") response.write(intReturn) set oShell=nothing
the Shell object is well created (i can check some of its properties) but the oShell.run command doesn't seem to execute the given command line.
I need to use nslookup on an asp page. So I use the sort of code I can see in the discussion group:
SET objShell = Server.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") DIM objExec SET objExec = objShell.Exec("%comspec% /c nslookup -type=MX "&host)
but I get "access denied" on the SET statement. (It doesn't matter what command I am using in the shell.)
On the physical IIS application directory Web sharing is enabled I enable anonymous access I have full control for the internet guest account. I have permission for scripts and executables on the virtual directory application protection low read write directory browse
I have enabled web sharing for windowsSystem32. (I probably shouldn't have!)
Clearly there is something I have forgotten. But what?
im using server object Wscript.Shell in an asp page to run a bat file, under C:inetpubwwwroot, and after i run the ASP page, it give me an error message that
Error Type: Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046) Permission denied /wss1/bat.asp, line 22
im sure that Windows Scripting Host is running well in my pc. But it still giving me this problem.below is my coding of the asp pages. Code:
I have installed MSDE on my local computer - Windows 2000 Professional. I have created a function which runs me a link whose path is placed in the input field. This function looks like this: Code:
I can run these commands successfully from the command-prompt on the server but from an ASP page, I get nothing not even an error. The Text output for NET PRINT is a blank text file.
I feel something is different on the permissions side because this code/approach use to work fine.
I'm using this code var file = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); file.Run(FileName);
but in case the file name is of type html i get the file in the same window and i'm 'loosing' my site.i want to have the new opened document in a new window.
What is the syntax for running say. a batch file (.bat) from within ASP?
For example... in MS Access you can say something like this... ---------------------------------------------------------- CurrentDBDir = "c:" ShellWait CurrentDBDir & "runthis.bat", vbNormalFocus ----------------------------------------------------------
This would run the "runthis.bat" file located in the c: directory. How would one accomplish this same thing in ASP?
Is there a way to insert a word page break into an asp script? I have a script which uses the MS Word Document.ContentType to display a long table and I'd like to insert a page break at certain points so I can print it nicely.
i have an asp page and id like to run some DOS commands to copy files around on the server to a new directory on the server, and then run an exe afterwards. some sites tell me its as simple as Code:
I'm attempting to print to a Zebra printer (barcode) by taking the results of an .asp page and sending the output to the Zebra printer, which will interpret the output / embedded Zebra Program Language (ZPL).
Thus, printing the output at runtime. Does anyone know how to send a dos command from an .asp page that will send the .asp result output to a notepad file then send the notepad file to the printer at run-time? I tried the following code:
Can someone explain what kind of commands demand most attention/resources from server and how an internet server distributes its time among web programs/users. You can also refer me to certain pages where I can read through it.
As far as I know, people prefer using objrs.execute statement instead of other commands like .addnew or .edit etc. the problem is since I don't know much about this hardcore stuff of DB, I continuously have to ask people on ASPFREE to help me. although here people here are awesome but the problem is that sometimes it takes too much time so it's better to have first hand info in your head.
I have an ASP page where I build a html table dynamically by reading a database table and populating the <TD> cells with the fields of each record.
I want the last field to be a html drop down list that contains values read from another db relation in the same db. It would seem to me, (i'm novice) that this would require nesting SQL SELECT Code:
how to use WScript in ASP? I figured out that if I use a WSH object to send the keystroke {F5} it will refresh the pages adequately. (see my thread Refreshing Pages! for what I am taling about) Anyway, this code: Code:
Set wshshell=WScript.CreateObject("wscript.shell") wshshell.sendkeys {F5}
Should accomplish this. Or something similar should work. Anyways, I don't entirely know how to do this.
I'm trying to use vbscript to run a Macro in MSAccess via Wscript.Shell. So far, I have tried every variation on notation imaginable, and no luck. I can get MSACCESS.EXE to open, but it never runs the Macro, and never closes (which is the final command in the macro).
On the other hand, running the exact same command in DOS works great. Does everything it's supposed to perfectly. Code:
Im beginner in VBScript.Im getting an errorregarding "Wscript" means whenever I use WScript object, it shows Errors as " Object required: WScript" & "Variable undefind : Wscript" . Mostly I get "Object required: Wscript" erroe message whenver I declare WScript object.
