How to run a command shell from an asp.net page

[Guest]

Hi

How to run a command shell from an asp.net page. Research has shown that I
may use a either ASPEXEC or WSrcipt.Shell , is one better than the other, and
is there any other way of doing this besides mentioned above.

Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

tried that but it did not do what I wanted. Ergo tried to run a batch file
using process.Start(), batch file did not output what it was suppose to.
Tried to mimic the same functionality with an exe recieved an exception
stating that access denied. Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Almost all problems in asp.net with process.start stem from permissions and
an inability to run applications that need a desktop to run on. This might
give you an insight into whats up with yours:
