wsh(Windows Scripting Host), Using WScript object in WSC components

Using WScript object in WSC components

Author	Message
Nagara #1 / 6	Using WScript object in WSC components Hi, I have created a wsc component and would like to use the WScript object from within this method. Is this permitted ? My code is in JavaScript and I keep get an error that WScript is undefined. I want to use the WScript.Sleep( ) method. I am accessing this WSC component from an ASP page. Can I use the WScript object from within a WSC component? Am I missing something here? Thanks, Nagaraj

MVP #2 / 6	Using WScript object in WSC components A WSC is not hosted by wscript.exe or cscript.exe. Only those 2 hosts create and expose the WScript object. If you really need to sleep with a WSC method called from server side ASP, then you'll need to use a 3rd party component (like ScriptX from www.meadroid.com). Or rethink your design - sleeping in server side ASP code may not make you very popular with the IIS admin ;-)... -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting Seattle WA US -- Quote: > Hi, > I have created a wsc component and would like to use the WScript object from > within this method.

Nagara #3 / 6	Using WScript object in WSC components Actually, I need to restart a Win2K service. I am using ADSI and creating the service objects Set myServiceObj = GetObject("Winnt://./<ServiceName>") The only way to restart is to do separate calls to start and to stop the service as there is no single "restart call". myServiceObj .Stop myServiceObj .start Now while the service is stopping, if we issue the start command, it is just ignored. So the only way is to wait for the service to completely stop and then to issue the start command. In order to see if the service is stopped, I can continuously poll the service status, but this will lead to my ASP hogging the CPU, and hence, I want to put in a sleep command. So now my code looks like on error resume next Set myServiceObj = GetObject("Winnt://./<ServiceName>") 'Issue the stop myServiceObj .Stop t_nStatus = 999 'need this as the following call will crash if service is stopping t_nStatus = IISObject.Status 'poll for the status of stopped do while (NOT (t_nStatus = ADS_SERVICE_STOPPED)) 'Get the status again t_nStatus = 999 t_nStatus = IISObject.Status loop 'Service has stopped. Restart... myServiceObj .Start Is there any other way to do this?? Thanks, Nagaraj A WSC is not hosted by wscript.exe or cscript.exe. Only those 2 hosts create and expose the WScript object.

MVP #4 / 6	Using WScript object in WSC components A hack you can try is to use WshShell.Run to execute another external WSH hosted script that does the wait. Use True in the 3rd argument of the Run method to wait for the script to return. WshShell.Run """" & server.mapppath("wait.vbs") & """ 5000", 0, True === wait.vbs === wscript.sleep wscript.arguments(0) -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting Seattle WA US -- Quote: > Actually, I need to restart a Win2K service. > I am using ADSI and creating the service objects > Set myServiceObj = GetObject("Winnt://./<ServiceName>") > The only way to restart is to do separate calls to start and to stop the > service as there is no single "restart call". > myServiceObj .Stop > myServiceObj .start > Now while the service is stopping, if we issue the start command, it is just > ignored.
