Status: offline 		Hi,

I am really struggling with this complicated script!

the requirements are to write a vbscript which checks the current system time on server A, if it is before a certain time then kick off a batch file which executes a process on server B. If it is after a certain time then it is to check existing running processes on a server B, if it finds an instance of "something.exe" already runing then wait for X mins and try again until it is able to execute the batch job.

help!

Status: offline 		confused how to go about it is the word! .... very new to vb!

i can check the local systemtime using :

Dim CurrentTime

CurrentTime = Time()

Wscript.echo CurrentTime

but how i compare that with the cut off time in vb i have no idea



i thought about using sysinternals pslist to check te remote machine ....

something like :


ProcessName = "process1"
PsList = "C:\PsTools\PsList.exe"
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

obj = oShell.Run(PsList & " " & ProcessName, 0, True)

If obj = 0 Then
WScript.Echo ProcessName & " is running"
Else
WScript.Echo sProcessName & " is not running"
End If


that is about as far as i have got atm
