  Followers 0

  VBScript → Lua

  This function calls (launches) a given command, i.e. launches any given application.

  Please see the Introduction chapter for some usage instructions.

      '----------------------------------------------------------------
      ' LaunchCmd
      '
      ' Calls/launches the given command
      '
      ' Parameter:
      '   sCommand            command to be called
      '
      ' Return:
      '   none
      '----------------------------------------------------------------
      Function LaunchCmd( sCommand )
          PBXScript.OutputTrace "------> LaunchCmd ( " & sCommand & " )"

          On Error Resume Next

          Dim objShell
          Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
          objShell.Run sCommand

          If Err <> 0 Then
              PBXScript.OutputTrace "Error executing the given command! (" & Hex(Err) & ")"
              PBXScript.OutputTrace Err.Description
          Else
              PBXScript.OutputTrace "Given Command successfuly executed"
          End If

          Set  objShell = Nothing

          PBXScript.OutputTrace "<----- LaunchCmd"
      End Function

  Please note that this command will be launched on the SwyxServer machine. No windows will be opened, and no user input can be made. So only start command line applications which do not require any user input.

  As the call routing is executed by the Swyx Server service, the command will also be executed by the Swyx Server service. That means, it is executed by the Windows user, the Swyx Server service is running under (usually this is the local SwyxServiceAccount user).

  This function makes use of the Server Script API function PBXScript.OutputTrace to write trace information into the SwyxServer trace file.

  This function was initially posted into this forum topic.
