Summary

To execute a script (e.g., VBScript, JScript, Perl) using the Arcana Scheduler, you must specify the name of the program used to run the script.

More Information

The Scheduler always requires that the Application you specify be an exectuable program or batch file (see article I02000033 for more information).

If, therefore, you wish want to run a script, you must specify the appropriate scripting host program as the application, and the script name as the command line parameters. For example:

• To execute a VBScript or JScript script, the Application should be set to "wscript" and the command line parameters set to the path and name of the script file.
• To execute a Perl script, the Application should be set to "perl" (with the path if necessary) and the command line parameters set to the path and name of the script file.
