executing AutoIT Exe from server-side script Web

[erezlevi]

hi,

I wrote the following in ASP on my web server:

<% 
    dim wshell
    set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
    wshell.run "c:\erez-telnet.exe" 
    set wshell = nothing 
%>

the .exe file is an Auto-IT exe file. but the server side does not run it if I surf using IE to this page.

why?

How do you know it doesn't run? Are you sure it's not just exiting immediately?

[erezlevi]

Because I am not seeing it under Processes (au3wrapper) at all.

do you have a working one?

[Richard Robertson]

I'm not sure what you mean by "working one". I don't work with ASP so I'm just looking at other things it might be.

Does your server give permissions to use the objects?

[erezlevi]

bump.

does anyone have succesfully called an Auto-IT exe from ASP or .net web server application ? (server side scripting)

[Richard Robertson]

Are you able to run non-AutoIt applications this way? If you can't run anything at all, your problem lies with the ASP setup and is not an AutoIt problem.

Try running something like notepad and see if it runs. If it doesn't, it's obvious the problem isn't AutoIt.

hi,

my Auto-IT script only perform telnet stuff:

$ipaddr = "192.168.10.10"
    $port = 23
    TCPStartup()
    $i = 1
    Dim $ConnectedSocket = -1
    $ConnectedSocket = TCPConnect($ipaddr, $port)
    Sleep(600)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffb18fffb1f"))
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffc20fffc23fffb27"))
    Sleep(200)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffa1f00500019fff0"))
    Sleep(200)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffa2700fff0"))
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffa1800414e5349fff0"))
    Sleep(200)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffd03"))
    Sleep(10)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffb01fffe05fffc21"))
    Sleep(200)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffc01"))
    Sleep(200)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0xfffd01"))
    Sleep(1000)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, "abi")
    Sleep(500)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0x0d"))
    Sleep(1000)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, "abithebest")
    Sleep(1000)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0x0d"))
    Sleep(1000)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, "vt220")
    Sleep(500)
    TCPSend($ConnectedSocket, Binary("0x0d"))
    Sleep(1500)

the asp code works fine with : ping.exe for example.

Does ASP not let you do that? PHP lets you use sockets, so I would expect ASP to as well.
