in reply to execute a vbscript from a perl script.

Shouldn't there be escaped quotes round the path to the vbs?

cscript will think it's getting 3 parameters as things stand

    Hi Abe, Could you reply with how should it look like as per you? -KAKA-

      Maybe you could try to add quotes yourself instead of making others do your work for you?

        Hello Corion,

        I am poor in scripting. however tried below before posting.

        my $cmd = "cscript \ "C:\\ProgramData\\HP\\HP BTO Software\\bin\\instrumentation\\Failover_Passive.vbs \" ";

        but this started giving error and that is the reason i asked.

        Could you help??

        :-)

        "cscript \"C:\\ProgramData\\HP\\HP BTO Software\\bin\\instrumentation\\Failover.vbs\" ";

        should do the trick
