Calling Scripts From Script

I run a bunch of scripts on my server. Each is scheduled individually with
the sceduling service.

I'm thinking of writing one script that calls each script in turn. That
way, I will only have one entry in scheduler.

Is this possible?

Hi

'--------------------8<----------------------
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' If you want them to run in parallel:
oShell.Run "wscript.exe c:\scripts\scr1.vbs", 1, False
oShell.Run "wscript.exe c:\scripts\scr2.vbs", 1, False
oShell.Run "wscript.exe c:\scripts\scr3.vbs", 1, False

' If you want script 1 to be finished before script 2 is started:
oShell.Run "wscript.exe c:\scripts\scr1.vbs", 1, True
oShell.Run "wscript.exe c:\scripts\scr2.vbs", 1, True
oShell.Run "wscript.exe c:\scripts\scr3.vbs", 1, True
'--------------------8<----------------------


Note that
oShell.Run "wscript.exe c:\scripts\scr1.vbs"

Is the same as
oShell.Run "wscript.exe c:\scripts\scr1.vbs", 1, False

because ", 1, False" is the default

Torgeir, reading the script and then executing global won't do the trick?

Hi

Yes, but it has some downsides.

For different methods and some examples of code libraries and their
pros and cons, you can take a look here (my favorite is WSC):

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3E479EC6.6EFB4ADE%40hydro.com


Some interesting WSC links for future use maybe:

Optional methods to reference the WSC that is not registered from a script:
