vbs log out with delay - vbscript

I want to log out my computer with delay in a vbscript. Here is what i've tried so far:
Dim ObjShell
Set ObjShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ObjShell = msgbox("Wollen Sie den Computer herunterfahren ?", +vbYesNo+vbExclamation, "")
If ObjShell = 6 then
Set ShellObject = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}").ExecQuery("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
For Each sys In ShellObject
Sys.Win32Shutdown 0
Next
End if
I do want to know how i can create a delay.

You can use WScript.Exec "shutdown.exe -L -F -t 30" to let the waiting be done by shutdown or use Wscript.Sleep 30000 to initiate a wait before the next statement is executed.
Both times are 30 seconds in this example.

How do I convert the weekday command so that I can manually pick the day for each task rather than it detecting it automatically?

When I started on this I wasn't aware that I had to be able to select each daily task manually and pick each task whenever I want, I'm trying to figure out how to convert it into a manual entry so I don't have to rework the whole thing, bear in mind I'm very new to vbscript so if there's an obvious solution I apologize. I'm still working on the later days of the week to finish this.
dtmToday = Date()
dtmDayOfWeek = DatePart("w", dtmToday)
'Select case to pickup the value of day of the week and call procedure
Select Case dtmDayOfWeek
Case 1
Call Sunday()
Case 2
Call Monday()
Case 3
Call Tuesday()
Case 4
Call Wednesday()
Case 5
Call Thursday()
Case 6
Call Friday()
Case 7
Call Saturday()
End Select
'Sunday procedure will execute from select case
sub Sunday()
'defining variables
dim wshShell
dim path
dim fso
'setting up the environment to run vbscript
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Execute the command and append to the text file
WShShell.run "cmd /c ping -n 10 youtube.com >> ping.txt", hidden
wscript.quit
End sub
'Monday procedure will execute from select case

You need first optimize your code to avoid heavy duplication as #Lankymart was mentioned it in his comment, by writing one function and call it when you need it, and to store all your commands into an array for easy access by their index.
So your code can be written like that :
Option Explicit
' We define our Global variables
Dim Title,ArrCommands,strcmd,dtmDayOfWeek,IndexCommand,UserInput
Title = "Run command line based on the Day Of Week"
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' We define and store our commands lines into an array
ArrCommands = Array(_
"ping -n 10 youtube.com >> ping.txt",_
"netstat >> netstat.txt",_
"arp -a >> arp.txt",_
"Color 0A & Title Running nbtstat command & nbtstat -n",_
"Color 0A & Title Running Tracert command & tracert youtube.com",_
"Color 0A & Title Running Ipconfig command & Ipconfig /all",_
"Color 0A & Title Running netstat command & netstat -ano"_
)
'-------------------------------Main Program---------------------------------------
Do While Not IsDate(UserInput)
UserInput = InputBox("Type a date here example 24/06/2020",Title,"24/06/2020")
dtmDayOfWeek = MyWeekday(UserInput)
IndexCommand = dtmDayOfWeek - 1
Loop
MsgBox "Day of the Week = "& dtmDayOfWeek & vbCrlf &_
"The command will be executed is : "& ArrCommands(IndexCommand),vbInformation,Title
'Select case to pickup the value of day of the week
Select Case dtmDayOfWeek
Case 1
Call Execute(ArrCommands(IndexCommand),0)
Case 2
Call Execute(ArrCommands(IndexCommand),0)
Case 3
Call Execute(ArrCommands(IndexCommand),0)
Case 4
Call Execute(ArrCommands(IndexCommand),1)
Case 5
Call Execute(ArrCommands(IndexCommand),1)
Case 6
Call Execute(ArrCommands(IndexCommand),1)
Case 7
Call Execute(ArrCommands(IndexCommand),1)
End Select
'MsgBox "Command line is done",vbInformation,Title
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function MyWeekday(MyDate)
If MyDate = "" Then MyDate = Date()
If IsDate(MyDate) Then
MyWeekDay = Weekday(MyDate)
Exit Function
End If
End Function
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub Execute(StrCmd,Console)
Dim ws,MyCmd
Set ws = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
'The console = 0 means will be running in hidden mode
If Console = 0 Then
MyCmd = "CMD /C " & StrCmd & " "
ws.run MyCmd,Console,True
End If
'The console = 1 means will be running in not hidden mode

Piping text into netcat using WScript.Exec

I'm playing a CTF and looking to pipe some content into netcat in order to illicit a response from an application listening on a port.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
Dim oShell : Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "C:\\users\\me\\Desktop\\my_app.exe"
WScript.Sleep 1000
oShell.Exec "echo hello > C:\\users\\me\\Desktop\\netcat\\nc.exe 127.0.0.1 4444"
What I get is an error
WshShell.Exec: The system cannot find the file specified.
Which I presume is about the echo command as removing it works fine. What am I doing wrong?
#m0atz as #omegastripes mentioned, you need to use StdIn. The following demonstrates how:
Dim wshShell, oExec, buffer
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("C:\\users\\me\\Desktop\\netcat\\nc.exe 127.0.0.1 4444")
oExec.StdIn.Write "hello" & vbCrLf
buffer = ""
While Not oExec.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
buffer = buffer & oExec.StdOut.Read(1)
Wend
WScript.Echo buffer

Waiting till the particular message is displayed on console

Here is my VBS code
Set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Wshshell.run "C:\Temp\Executable.exe -c -dir C:\Productdir"
'Wait till "This will install the product on your computer. Press OK, Cancel" appears
WScript.Sleep 10000
WshShell.SendKeys "~"
Is it possible "rather than hard-coded sleep of 10 secs" to add something like this for e.g. if consolemessage="This will install the product on your computer. Press OK, Cancel" then WshShell.SendKeys "~"?
Can WScript.StdOut be used to capture the console messages in the above case? I was not able to do it.
You can read StdOut of a process when you execute the program using the Exec method.
Set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set p = Wshshell.Exec("C:\Temp\Executable.exe -c -dir C:\Productdir")
Do While p.Status = 0
output = ""
Do Until p.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
c = p.StdOut.Read(1)
WScript.StdOut.Write c 'write read characters to the command prompt
output = output & c
If InStr(output, "This will install the product") > 0 Then
'do stuff
Exit Do
End If
Loop
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

VBs to log (.txt) telnet output

A very simple script to save time for something i (repeatedly) need to check # work;
Set cloner = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
cloner.SendKeys"telnet 0.0.0.0"
cloner.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1000
cloner.SendKeys("whatever")
And, i'd like this to output to a .txt.
try this one
Set cloner = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
cloner.Run "cmd.exe"
WScript.Sleep 1000
cloner.SendKeys"telnet 0.0.0.0 -f out.txt"
cloner.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1000
cloner.SendKeys("whatever")
The code just producing a blank txt; no string in it.
Try:
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run("telnet.exe")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("set logfile filename.txt{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("open 0.0.0.0{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("whatever")
this will create a file named filename in the working directory, can be replaced with absolute path aswell.

Ping script with loop and save in a txt

i try to make an Ping script with vbs. I need a Script, that ping (no ping limit, the program will run all the time) a computername in the network every 2 seconds and save the results in a txt file.
For Example:
06/08/2010 - 13:53:22 | The Computer "..." is online
06/08/2010 - 13:53:24 | The Computer "..." is offline
Now i try a little bit:
strComputer = "TestPC"
Set objPing = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}")._
ExecQuery("select * from Win32_PingStatus where address = '"_
& strComputer & "'")
For Each objStatus in objPing
If IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) Or objStatus.StatusCode <> 0 Then
..........
Next
And than i don't know how to make it. (I'm new with vbs :-))
I hope some one can help me.
Greeting,
matthias
Try this
Option Explicit
Dim strHost, strFile
strHost = "www.google.com" '"127.0.0.1"
strFile = "C:\Test.txt"
PingForever strHost, strFile
Sub PingForever(strHost, outputfile)
Dim Output, Shell, strCommand, ReturnCode
Set Output = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(outputfile, 8, True)
Set Shell = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
strCommand = "ping -n 1 -w 300 " & strHost
While(True)
ReturnCode = Shell.Run(strCommand, 0, True)
If ReturnCode = 0 Then
Output.WriteLine Date() & " - " & Time & " | The Computer " & strHost & " is online"
Else
Output.WriteLine Date() & " - " & Time & " | The Computer " & strHost & " is offline"
End If
Wscript.Sleep 2000
Wend
End Sub
You put your pings inside a loop of some kind and then use Wscript.Sleep 2000 to sleep for 2 seconds.
Then you use the File System Object (FSO) to write to a file. Information can be found here.
Edit: Something like this might work:
Const OpenFileForAppending = 8
Dim fso, ts
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting. FileSystemObject")
While 1 > 0 ' loop forever
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\test.txt", OpenFileForAppending, True)
' do your pinging code
'if ok
ts.WriteLine("OK")
'else
ts.WriteLine("Not OK")
'endif
ts.Close()
Wscript.Sleep 2000
Wend
