STAF provides a PROCESS service that has a START option that lets you run 
most any command on a local or remote machine that is also running STAF 
and it provides options like RETURNSTDOUT and STDERRTOSTDOUT to let you 
return the stdout/stderr from running the command in the result.  So, 
first you need to know how to run your vbscript via the command line (in 
batch mode to suppress the display of user prompts and script errors) and 
the remote machine, and then you can run it on a remote machine using a 
STAF PROCESS START request (after first using a FS COPY request to copy 
the .vbs file to the remote machine if needed).

For example:

STAF remoteMachine PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "cscript //nologo //b 
scriptname.vbs" RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT

See the STAF User's Guide at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFUG.htm for more information on the 
PROCESS service and the FS service.

You may want to use STAX to execute yoru FS COPY and PROCESS START 
requests.  Or STAF provides APIs to submit STAF service requests via 
Python, Perl, Java, C/C++, or Tcl,

[staf-users] How to use STAX for executing a vbscript on a remote machine?






Hi,
 
I'm not sure whether this is the correct alias for sending in such 
queries.... but i have a scenario where i need to execute a vbscript on 
some remote machine.
I have the vbscript for converting hexadecimal number to decimal, I had 
created the .vbs file and now want to run it on the remote machine and get 
the output.
 
Can anyone suggest on this?
