This function calls (launches) a given command, i.e. launches any given application.

Please note that this command will be launched on the SwyxServer machine. No windows will be opened, and no user input can be made. So only start command line applications which do not require and user input.

To use the function within your call routing script just copy&paste it into the "Start" block and call it afterwards within an "Evaluate" bl

 

Function LaunchCmd( sCommand )
	PBXScript.OutputTrace "------> LaunchCmd ( " & sCommand & " )"

	On Error Resume Next
	
	Dim objShell
	Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
	objShell.Run sCommand

	If Err <> 0 Then
		PBXScript.OutputTrace "Error executing the given command! (" & Hex(Err) & ")"
		PBXScript.OutputTrace Err.Description
	Else
		PBXScript.OutputTrace "Given Command successfuly executed"
	End If

	Set  objShell = Nothing
	
	PBXScript.OutputTrace "<----- LaunchCmd"
End Function
