Re: [script] Equivalent of os.system() in JScript?

[squid <squid(at)3d-palace.com>]

I don't really know python but for low (er) level stuff in jscript i'd 
look to
ActiveX/Com, windows scripting host and .Net

example from a plugin i just finished :

// vbscripting 101 at it's finest ;)
function layoutProcessAlreadyRunning(app){
   var iReturn = 0x10;
   var goForth = 0x20;
   var objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\\\.\\root\\CIMV2");    // 
windows management interface
   var oColl = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process", 
"WQL", iReturn | goForth);
 var e = new Enumerator(oColl);
 for (; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext() )
 {
   var oItem = e.item();

       if(oItem.Name == app)
       {
           return true;
           /*
           Logmessage("Name: " + oItem.Name);
           Logmessage("ProcId: " + oItem.ProcessId);
           Logmessage("ParProcId: " + oItemm.ParentProcessId);
           */
       }
   }
   return false;
}

essentally , a code version of the windows task manager.

for moving, renaming and general shuffling about of files there's always 
the fso
var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
