Sorry for the OT post. I am trying to set up a secure directory where I can run a couple of BAT files.
I set up a script mapping in IIS for the BAT extension to use c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe. I disabled the "Script Engine" option and tried running the file. I see the CMD.exe process spawned but the BAT file does not seem to execute and the browser eventually times out and does not return a result. The directory has execute permissions. Any ideas what I need to do to get this seemingly simply thing to work? BTW, I am trying to set this up so that I can remotely restart some key services and processes on the server via my PDA while camping this weekend. ;) Brook ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
