I need to run a perl command line from within VB.Net. A little background: My host provides raw logs archives once daily in zip format. I want to use AWStats to analyze the log files. So, I have written an asp.net app to get my log files, unzip them, and put them in a specified directory. Then, I need to run the AWStats update process. eg, awstats.pl -update -config=xxx
I have tried to do this with a shell statement, eg Shell("perl e:\web\xxx\awstats\awstats.pl -update -config=xxx")
The page does not retun any errors, but no update occurs. Has anyone ever run a perl command like this from within asp.net? Any help would be appreciated.
