Here's what I am trying to accomplish. We've got a service running on a
webserver that needs to occasionally restarted. Rather than bugging one of
us sys admins to restart the service, I was hoping to embed some vbscript
that will restart the service on that local system onto a webpage. That way,
when the application developer needs to restart the service, all he has to do
is go to the default .html page on http://localhost and click the command
button that runs the vbscript to restart the service.

I've successfully found the vbs code needed to restart the service, however
it doesn't appear to run when I embed it into the .html code. Are these type
of requests not able to be submitted via vbscript via HTML?

I don't have a ton of experience with this, but I believe you may have to do
something with client-side code. I don't think server-side will let you do
this.

Do you have a sample of code?

Thanks for the response. Yeah... here's my html code with the embedded
vbscript.

<html>
<head>
<title>* * Welcome to The Dev Server* *</title>
<script for="RestartRPC" language="VBScript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
Development Server
VMWare Instance VSD1-DEV Version
6.0.1.15
The database server is VRTXSD02
The database instance is nugnsdev
 
Go easy on this hardware. It is not a
dedicated server.
 
To launch DeVision, <a
href="/servlet/WebVisionServlet">click
here</a>
Or for the browser impaired,
http://vsd1-ndev.verbex.com/servlet/WebVisionServlet
 
<input type="button" value="Restart NuGen RPC" name="cmdRestartRPC"
event="onClick">

</body>
</html>
I appreciate the help.
