On clicking a button, I want to run a node file main.js on cmd terminal.
I did:
var ip ="f:\ node main.js ";
function pingItjs(ip) {
var oShell = new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
oShell.run("cmd.exe /k" + ip);
}
but it only opens a cmd with F:\ drive and doesn't append the command:
node main.js
How can I do that?
There is this library that does exactly that :) called node-cmd. But you have to use this inside NodeJS.
With pure JS (without NodeJS), I'd do something like this:
// Instantiate the Shell object and invoke its execute method.
var oShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
var commandtoRun = "f:\ node main.js ";
// Invoke the execute method.
oShell.ShellExecute(commandtoRun, "", "", "open", "1");
