objWshell.Run "%COMSPEC% /C ren topoX.jpg topo_cliente.jpg", 0, TRUE ???

[Vilmar Brazão de Oliveira]

Hi all,
I was using:
<% Set objWshell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objWshell.Run "%COMSPEC% /C ren topoX.jpg topo_cliente.jpg", 0, TRUE %>

BUT the comand COMSPEC disapeared of all my machines which we have
ms-windows 2000 installed!
So now no-one machine can continue run my routines which accessed ms-dos by
ASP

COULD anybody send me the comspec command by e-mail whith the subject:
Comspec to WScript.Shell
???

obs.:I got these samples in aspfaq.com »»

%compspec% isn't a command. It's an environment variable that represents
the path to your command interpreter executable, cmd.exe.

Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Advanced tab
Environment Variables

In the System Variables box, ComSpec should be the first one listed, on a
default W2K Server. If it is not there, add it.

Variable name: ComSpec
Variable value: C:\Winnt\System32\cmd.exe
Note that for that value, this is for a W2K Server installed on C with a
%systemroot% of C:\Winnt. If you have no environment variables at all, you
may want to inquire about this in microsoft.public.win2000.general or
..win2000.cmdprompt.admin.

Too lazy to try, but can you use %sysdir% or %systemroot% in the definition
of another environment variable? I'm not sure if the variables are
initialized in order or en masse... but it's not like that value is going to
change in the existing environment anyway.

I do believe that you can, because the actual value of an environment
variable like %windir% is actually %systemroot%. But, since it's stored as
a REG_EXPAND_SZ, when you view the variable anywhere, the expanded value of
%systemroot% is what's displayed.

And %comspec% is actually %systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe. So, I guess I gave
false instructions about recreating that variable. Sorry Vilmar.

I guess if the var is stored as a REG_SZ, you'd have to type the literal
path.

Hi all,
I have tried:
objWshell.Run "%systemroot%\system32\cmd.exe /C ren topoX.jpg

objWshell.Run "c:\winnt\\system32\cmd.exe /C ren topoX.jpg

But nothing is running well!
If %COMSPEC% keeps away the path of command interpreter why my ASP routines

Alright, your variables are cool then. (This is from your ~server~, right,
not your workstation?) Now I can't remember how I determined or assumed
that it might be a system variable problem to begin with!

Are you able to log on to the server directly? If so, if you enter the same
command at the command prompt (cmd.exe), does it work? That command being:

ren topoX.jpg topo_cliente.jpg

One other thing that I just noticed is that you aren't specifying the PATH
to your file. I believe that cmd.exe will open in the user's home directory
(IUSR's) or if the user doesn't have a home directory specified, it'll be
the system32 directory. So, try:

ren C:\Path\To\Your\File\topoX.jpg topo_cliente.jpg

BUT the comand COMSPEC disapeared

What does "running well" mean? What does "disappeared" mean? Maybe you
could show the actual error message you are receiving. I am betting it's a
permissions issue... did you recently make any changes to IUSR on this
machine, or change anonymous to Windows auth or vice versa, or perhaps make
the site or application run in its own memory space? The user ASP is
running as needs elevated privileges in order to run a command like cmd.exe
....

(Also, please trim, trim, trim. We don't need to see your original post 20
times in the thread.)

HI people,
»»»NOW IS OK!!!
I really had forgot the PATH. See now the correct code that can runs even
without %COMSPEC% appear in my system variables of my ms-windows operating
system:
objWshell.Run "c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe /C ren
d:\testes_apostilas\topoX.jpg topo_cliente.jpg", 0, TRUE

Thanks to everybody.

Vilmar,

Have you come across FileSystemObject?
For renaming files, it may work rather better that WShell...

<%
Dim oFSO
Set oFSO = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )

Call oFSO.MoveFile( "<path>\topoX.jpg", "<path>\topo_cliente.jpg" )

%>

HTH,
Phill W.

thank by the new tip, but I still prefer WSH. it is better for us have all
control of o.s. shell!
best regards,

No, it's not, IMHO. Why does a web app need "all control of o.s. shell"?

I'm often more in favor of executing shell commands when I can too, since it
often simplifies code and is a bit more efficient. <-- That is an assumption
I've made.

In the case of filesystemObject, I disagree. To each his own, I suppose.

and is a bit more efficient.

That's a rather bold assumption. :-)
