Re: X10 scripting in HAL

[Tom Van den Panhuyzen <tomvdp@xxxxxxxxx>]

To ftp a log file onto a webserver (
http://users.pandora.be/see/xpl/log.htm
), I use of the following
script in HAL:

sub FtpLog()
if sys.value("ftpneeded") = true then
Set ws = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ret0 = ws.Run("e:\tools\ftp\transfer.cmd",0,true)
if ret0=0 then 'success
sys.value("ftpneeded") = false
end if
end if
end sub


The transfer.cmd calls the dos ftp tool passing it yet another script file.

Is it safe to call  CreateObject("WScript.Shell") and use that to
run
shell scripts from inside HAL triggers ?  (It is working...)  Maybe
there is a more straightforward way ?

Thanks,
Tom
