I think you could have a hyperlink to an executable batch file to kick off a script locally. I'm assuming, however, you want to run the script on a server without giving users remote access to the server. Probably the best solution is to design a db listing scripts with a .net app that runs every minute to query the db for scripts to execute. Then you'd need to design a quick GUI front end for the user to set a flag in the db which would indicate the script needs to be run. I don't use SharePoint so I don't know if it gives you the ability to interface with a db. If you didn't want to hassle with creating a GUI front end you could have executables that update the db. That would be manageable as long as you didn't have a lot of scripts to run or a lot of users since you'd use a different .exe for each script.

Hi Everyone, I'd like to make a BWS script readily available to users without requiring them to specifically log onto a server to do it. I want to remove as many barriers as possible to making this script accessible. Ideally, I'd like to be able to give access to this from our Sharepoint site. Is anyone familiar with a mechanism to fire off a script from something other directly from a machine running the BWS run time? ie, a hyperlink? Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated.
