I'm trying to automate a backup routine and I must perform certain tasks, in sequential order. One of these is to shut down a FoxPro database, which resides on another machine, perform B/U then restart the FP db.
I'm using the Windows scheduler on a server to start a vbs. Here is the code I'm trying to use.
Dim Controller, RemoteScript
Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController")
Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("I:\AdminScripts\StartNote.vbs", "Report")
WScript.ConnectObject RemoteScript, "remote_"
RemoteScript.Execute
Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
WScript.DisconnectObject RemoteScript
Sub remote_Error
Dim theError
Set theError = RemoteScript.Error
WScript.Echo "Error " & theError.Number & " - Line: " & theError.Line & ", Char: " & theError.Character & vbCrLf &
"Description: " & theError.Description
WScript.Quit -1
End Sub
And here is the script it is calling. (I:\AdminScripts\StartNote.vbs)
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run "C:\WinNt\NotePad.exe", 3, False
I want the script to launch the remote application in a visible mode. That is why I am using a parameter 3, Window Maximized. What I am getting is the application running as a process only, no GUI. If I go to the machine where the remote application is and run the local script it functions as it should, window maximized.
What am I missing? I figure, if I can get NotePad to work, I can get my FoxPro app to work as well.
I've also tried to use SysInternals PSExec to launch my FP app but the remote computer returns a message that a dll is corrupt or missing. I think using WHSController is going to be my best option, if I can get it to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
