    - Script to monitor services running Hello all.... A complete VBScript newbie here. Pardon any stupid questions that may follow, but I am hoping to learn something new. I am tasked with monitoring several services on a server on a daily basis. I was thinking about a .vbs script that could be called from a batch file ( if that is even possible ). I would like for this script to create a simple text file list of all services that are running on the server including the status of the service ( stopped, started, etc... ). If this possible, any hints as to how to go about writing this script would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mike Minor Tag: "Twistie" control Tag: 165343

    - How to get e-mail address attribute from AD Using vbscript, what is a simpliar to retrieve the value for the e-mail address attribute for an AD user? The following will get the desired value, but I am curious as to why I have to do so much to get the value. I guess my main question is why do I have to perform the steps below the nametranslate comment and then having to convert results? Is there no simpliar way to get e-mail address for a username? If so would someone post the code? Thank you. Code snippet: strNTName = "xusername" ' Determine DNS domain name from RootDSE object.

    - Memory problem with Wscript when it is closing Hi, I have two problems with Wscript (WSH and VBScript), I execute a script which will create another script on a remote machine, then the remote script will execute. Every thing is fine, But sometime, I got run-time error that Wscript try to read some thing from somewhere in memory that it can not be read. And Sometime when my script finishes its execution, when Wscript is closing, Wscript try to write some thing to somewhere that it can not be written. In both case I got a popup to tell me that Wscript is not working. I use to the "Option Explicit" to force the variable declaration., And the script will keep running until I tell it to stop (via configuration file) it may run more than 5 or 6 hours. If anyone have any idea? Thanks you very much Tag: "Twistie" control Tag: 165330

    - RegRead Hi, I am trying to read a reg key from the registry. the problem is that if the key doesn't exist, the script jumps to "If Err.Number <> 0 Then", or cause runtime error, if i don't use "On Error Resume Next" I wanted to use it in the following way: Set RegistryOBJ = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'returns the path of my app writen in the registry Get_ETS_PathInRegistry = RegistryOBJ.RegRead(ETS_RegistryLocation) If ETS_UnInstallPath = False Then 'if the key doesn't exist, we can install the app Install_ETS(ETS_InstallPath) Else 'if the key exists, we should uninstall it and then install the new version(might be in new path) UnInstall_ETS(ETS_UnInstallPath) 'ETS_InstallPath is being obtained from user. Install_ETS(ETS_InstallPath) End If The problem is that it doesn;t go to the "If ETS_UnInstallPath = False Then" but as i described above, go to the end of the script and then ends the script. in this way, i will need to add in "If Err.Number <> 0 Then" "Install_ETS(ETS_InstallPath) " command.

    - vbscript, asp, sockets responses not received Howdy People, I guess this might be more of an IIS architectural question, but there is some vbscript content, so I'll post it here. Grateful for any help people might have on this problem. I have an asp page running some vbscript. The vbscript instances a COM dll. The COM dll sends a UDP message to a process running on another server somewhere, then blocks waiting for the response. My problem is that the response is never received by the dll. I've tried running a sniffer on the web server, and it shows that the response is coming back as expected, coming to the correct port number and everything, but the dll just sits there and receives nothing. Any clues what's going on? MIKE Tag: "Twistie" control Tag: 165300

    - Accepting user input with WSH Hi, What I am going to do is write some scripts to generate a file with a the text of all files in a certain directory. I will then create another script to seach that created file and output the search results to a .html page for viewing. My problem is not generating the file with the text, or doing the searching or generating the results but after searching all the docs I can find on MSDN, there doesn't seem to be a way for my to create a way other than on the command line to accept user input for the search parameters. Any suggestions or URLs would be great. Ideally I would like to popup a small dialog box to accept the users input. One caveat though I may only use scripts, no compiled executables are allowed. Thanks for the assistance Jack Wayne Tag: "Twistie" control Tag: 165198

    - How to do something based on set of workstations I want to do something based on the workstation that runs the script. I.E. if is a workstation FRED or BARNEY or WILMA, or BAMBAM I want it to do x, and if it is BART or HORMER or LISA I want it to do y and so on. I could write a ton of if statements but that seems inefficient, is there another way? Thanks, Arch Tag: "Twistie" control Tag: 165187

    - Newbie question about instantiating objects If I want a script to bind to a folder "A", I understand that I need to first instantiate the folder object [e.g., Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")], ' = Line #1 and then assign an object reference moniker to the folder object [e.g., Set files = fso.GetFolder("C:\A").Files]. ' = Line #2 Well, this raises a few questions for which I haven't been able to find answers.. a. Must Line #2 come immediately after Line #1? b. If I want to work on folder "B" too in this script: 1) Do I repeat Line #1 again as follows? Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ' = Line #1 again Set files = fso.GetFolder("C:\B").Files. ' = Line #3) 2) If I do repeat Line #1 again, how do I tell a routine which folder object to work on? 3) Where can I find the answers/explanations for these questions? Thanks, marc hankin Tag: "Twistie" control Tag: 165183

    - Using GPG From Script Hello, Yes, I've Googled and so on, but am a bit stuck. This is actually my first vbscript. The goal is to manage GPG encryption/decryption of files from a script, which will eventually be a function of a larger script. The script below is my attempt at getting this working. The first WshShell.Exec works but the second does not (the first one may wrap). I'm sure it's something simple. --- Option Explicit 'Declare the variables Dim WshShell, oExec Dim GPGPTFName Dim GPGRecip 'Define the variables GPGPTFName = "c:\gnupg\test.txt" 'GPG plain-text filename GPGRecip = "someone@somedomain.com" 'GPG recipient 'Define the constants Const GPGEncrypt = "C:\gnupg\gpg.exe -e -r" 'GPG command to encrypt Const GPGDecrypt = "C:\gnupg\gpg.exe -d" 'GPG command to decrypt 'Invoke the WScript Shell Object Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Exec "C:\gnupg\gpg.exe -e -r someone@somedomain.com c:\gnupg\test.txt" WshShell.Exec (GPGEncrypt & GPGRecip & GPGPTFName) --- Also, please bear in mind that I will eventually need to capture an exit status and error out to a mail function (with the reason why it failed), if it fails. All help appreciated. Tag: "Twistie" control Tag: 165180

    - Can vbscript name files in a web folder? I'm wondering if I should learn vbScript... I'd like to have a folder in my webspace, where I can dump any number of jpg's arbitrarily, and write a web-page that will pick up everything in the jpg folder, without my having to name each jpg in the script. Can that be done with vbscript, or does it exceed security limitation. tony Tag: "Twistie" control Tag: 165170

Hi,

Does anyone know of any controls that can be used to expand/collapse
sections on a web page. I have a SQL DB and need to build a web based front
end. I would like the forms to allow for various sections to be expanded and
collapsed, so a user can get to where they need quickly and easily. I call
them "twisties" - no idea what they are really called. For an example of
what I am after, see the BMW website - if you search for a car, it displays
the results. If you click on one of the results, it displays info about that
car, with nice sections that are expandable/collapsable so you can read what
you need/want.

Copy the link below to see an example - then choose a car from the results
and you will see the "twisties" that I am refering to on the right of the
page.

hi Marek,

There are countless ways to do this, as any good dhtml book will tell you.

About the easiest is to use scripting. Click on a link -- invoke a
script -- span your added/details info -- and use the visibility attribute
to show/hide the added info.

Or, easier yet, if you are happy with the way Bay Em Vay is doing it, then
just download their page, disect it, and use their method.

cheers, jw
