I am currently using HTML, ASP and ActiveFile to upload files from user machines to a Web Server. Once they get uploaded to the Web server, I would like to kick off a virus scan application to check for viruses.<br />
<br />
How can I invoke an executable at the end of my Active Server Page?<br />
<br />
I would like this to work on Windows 95, 98 and NT. I don't have any experience in CGI yet, but figure CGI is what I need?<br />
<br />
An example would really help.<br />

How to call an executable from a web page.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
