Trying to confirm external program launch
Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to do this. I have a VB Script run each
night that launches a command line argument. The command line runs WinZip
and zips up a bunch of files to a backup drive. I'd like to have the script
know if the external program failed and if so, email me. I have everything
working, with the exception of having the script "know" if the external
program that was launched with the Run Method failed or completed.
I suspect that since the script simply launches the external program, that
is all it knows and it won't be able to 'act' on anything. But I thought
I'd ask. I figure someone has figured out something like this already.
Thanks for any input or suggestions if anyone has them.
