Executing a batch file from a web page

Hi,

Does this has to be run at random or do you have time to run this specifically? have you thought of set it up as a schedule?

You can set this as a page on your website and run from there whenever you will.

Do you know how to go about in this in IIS?

Regards

I don't think it is possible but somebody may help you.  

Try an another method method: use task scheduler to run this batch file

Set a scheduled task for running a batch file The batch file location can be specified in the FTP path of your desktop .(you need to setup FTP server if you don't have)

Use any FTP client and upload the file whenever you want to run .

But how you schedule the time or frequency of the scheduled task ? doubting?

make a vbscript instead of the batch file and schedule another task and say in your vbscipt to run when a batch file is available in you FTP folder.Get it ? or try any monitor and execute tools with command line option to run the batch file

or try psexec tool http://babyraj.com/add-a-network-share-to-a-users-pc-remotely-on-windows/

I currently use task scheduler for other tools I made. However I would much rather prefer a web based startup, if it was possible.

Thanks for the reply though.

Depends upon where you want the file to run and with what permissions?

locally (download or open the batch file from the webpage)
on the vps server, all you need is a button_click event, and in the code behind you call the batch file and it will run in the context of the current app pool identity. This 'user' must have execute permissions on that file.

I've no problem calling the batch file from anywhere on the VPS, but if it's easier I can run it from within the IIS folder where the initial webpage doing the "calling" would be placed.

Can you point me to some sample code for the solution you're suggesting?

Thanks

So I'd need to be logged into the VPS to do this then would I?

What about triggering a VBS script? Can that be done? Still stuck on this problem.
