bump shell commands via ASP

[George Lake]

Ok,
I tested it in VB and returns nothing. Output is nothing.
I am using impersonation (as a domain admin).


Dim p As New Process
' #tells operating system not to use a shell;
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
'#allow me to capture stdout, i.e. results
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
'Say DOS Command is [EXEPath] CONNECT anotherargument
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "CONNECT anotherargument"
p.StartInfo.FileName = "qwinsta.exe"
'#do not show MSDOS window
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
'#do it!
p.Start()
Dim _processID As System.Int32 = p.Id
'#capture results
Dim output As String = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
' this is the output from the
p.WaitForExit()
p.Close()

Here is a sample in C# -- you can use it in business layer and the output
below can be shown on the ASP.NET page

//-----------------Start

/ #start a new process

Process p = new Process();

// #tells operating system not to use a shell;

p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;


//#allow me to capture stdout, i.e. results

p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

//Say DOS Command is [EXEPath] CONNECT anotherargument

p.StartInfo.Arguments = "CONNECT anotherargument";

p.StartInfo.FileName =[EXEPath];

//#do not show MSDOS window

p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

//#do it!

p.Start();

System.Int32 _processID = p.Id;

//#capture results

string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); // this is the output from
the command

//#wait for all results.

p.WaitForExit();

p.Close();



//-----------------End
