Boredom is the sugar-daddy of invention. Necessity may be the mother, but boredom is the Yang to that Yin. For example, while sitting around pondering the endless string of bad decisions I've made in life, I decided to build a mouse trap of script code.
KiXtart calls VBscript calls BAT calls PowerShell
You can take this and do whatever you like or ignore it and roll your eyes. I got the inspiration from a recent discussion with a long-time colleague about a former colleague from back in the 1980's who wrote some insanity for MIT that used LISP to write C code and compiled and ran it based on environment condition tests. In other words: it wrote the code it needed to suit the environment at that moment. I really miss working with LISP, eh, ughg, whatever... ok, so there you have it. Oh, each of the scripts is named "hello.xxx" where "xxx" is the appropriate extension for the language (.kix, .vbs, .bat, .ps1)... fa la la la laaaaaaa...
[CODE]
rem hello.cmd
@echo off
kix32.exe "%~dp0hello.kix"
;; hello.kix
@break on
shell "cscript.exe /nologo hello.vbs"
' hello.vbs
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
result = objShell.Run("%comspec% /c hello.bat", 1, True)
rem hello.bat
@echo off
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File "%~dp0hello.ps1"
## hello.ps1
$a = new-object -comobject wscript.shell
$b = $a.popup("Hello world!",5,"Wasting Time",1)
[/CODE]
