How to execute the two vb scripts Consecutively

[venkatbatchu]

I have two vb scripts first.vbs and second.vbs i have scheduled first.vbs at 12.30am and second.vbs at 12.35am(both need the same browser and same pages)
With the above scheduled scenarios, i am able to execute the scripts correctly if first script execution time is less than 5 mintues

Some times because of network issues and Internet issues first script will take more than 5 minutes in such situations i am unable to execute the two scripts Consecutively

Now i have decided that after completion of first script execution then second script has to trigger so here i am not getting any idea with the mentioned scenario

So please let me know if we have any solution

Thanks in advance,
Venkat

There might be a few ways to handle this one.

My first thought would be to create a file test or something using FSO..

Something like.....Script 1
'start by deleting the file
fso = CreateObject("file.scripting")
fso.Delete("path\name")
'the rest of script 1
here......
'When complete write a file someplace
fso.open("path\name", ForAppend, True) 'True to create if missing
fso.writeline "Completed" 'doesn't really matter unless you want to poll for results
fso.close

Script 2
'Start by checking if script 1 is complete.
fso = CreateObject("file.scripting")
while found = false
on error resume next 'just incase FSO throws an error for doesn't exist
found = fso.Exist("path\name") 'same path\file as script 1
wait(60) 'Sleep for 1 min
loop
on error goto 0 'Reset error trapping
'continue with the rest of the script

This is not the exact code. I'm a little rusty on the FSO (File Scripting Object) capabilities, but I know it can check if a file exists. The loop in the second script will wait and continue to test for the file existence before continuing with the script. You could also use a database or even a registry key and poll the value before continuing, but I think the FSO will be easier especially with a non-monitored system script.

Hope this helps.

you can use 'Wscript' to call your vbs file
see the example below

Code:

Dim oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
oShell.run "C:\test1.vbs", , True
oShell.run "C:\test2.vbs", , True

specifying waitonreturn argument for Run as true will enable the script to wait until your first vbs executes.
