In my VB app I want to be able to activate a script but make sure the script gets a chance to run, i.e. not terminate the request before its finished.
So it would be like Shell()'in, the Browser to open a certain page e.g. "www.mysite.com/script.php" but I don't want the user to see this as the page isn't going to contain any data. Its simply a script that will perform some maintenance actions, it is already a crontab but I will need to run it on demand too from the VB app.

Thanx
