Hello !

I'd like to know if there would be out there some sort of script that would be "hooked" to the "Contact becomes online" event, so that I could run an external command line (generic) whenever a contact of my interest becomes on-line.

For instance, I wanna a script that whenever Mary becomes on-line, it launches (executes) a command line of my own.

What I would do on this command line ?

I would send a SMS to my mobile phone, so that wherever I am, I would RUN after a WLM machine in order to talk to Mary !

I'm fluent with programming languages, and with JavaScript as well. But I dont know WLM scripting yet...

Thanks in advance !

Hope the idea can help you out there ! See ya !

code:

---

function OnEvent_ContactSignin(strEmail) {
    new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run("\"C:\\path to file\\file.bat\"");
}

---

Well, if you have any program which can send a message to your mobile, it's very easy to do that:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email) {
   if(Email == "mary@hotmail.com") {
      new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run('C:\sendsms.exe');
   }
}

Thanks to you all folks for the help !

I just have to research now how to wrap that JavaScript code into a .plsc file....

Thanks !

For running a program or opening a file or something similar use the code that has been said above.  ie

code:

---

...
new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run('C:\sendsms.exe');
...

---

code:

---

new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Exec('shutdown -a');

Well, it turns out that there must be some sort of security checking within scripts.

Cause my script CAN NOT be activated.

This is how I did the script :



function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email)
  {
   if  ((Email == "jabaltie@unimep.br"))
       {
         new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run('C:\test\cl52\xtest391.exe ' + Email);
       }
  }


When I quote the line where the 'Run' command line is, the script CAN BE activated OK.

However, when I unquote that line, the script CAN NOT be activated anymore.

Any clues ?

I now doing this "run" is dangerous of course but, if only I could do it for THIS script...


Thanks again folks !

Ops, sorry, I found the mistake by myself...

It's the double slashes I should use on the RUN command line :

new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run('C:\\test\\cl52\\xtest391.exe ' + Email);


Now, one more thing.....

I like to edit my scripts using an external editor, which is TSE PRO 32 from SemWare. Wonderful editor.

So, would there be a way to do some sort of "# INCLUDE" within WLM Plus so that I could edit my scripts outside WLM itself ?

Say that inside WLM I simply would put

# INCLUDE "this_script_of_mine_on_this_file_path"

And then I could edit the script with my editor of choice ?

You really need to read the Scripting Documentation instead of being baby fed some of the most simplest things which can be done in/with scripts. If you can't find the scripting documentation, it is found here: http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/13-Official-Scripting-Documentation/

It is extremely easy to edit your code using an external editor.
EDIT: I'll give you a tip, you just open the script file(s) with the editor of your choice.

OK. I found it. Simply enable "debug" checking and you're done.

It works.

Sorry to bother the thread with my silly questions.

I have the docs already, but since I'm brazilian and right now I'm with my laptop on the beach, looking to all of those gorgeous girls, I find it easier to ask to the thread, instead of putting my eyes on the docs !

Just kidding. Thanks again. I SHALL not bother the thread anymore.

Bye.

You can also try this script I created a while ago if your own version doesn't work out.
