I wrote the below code to check if a webserver/application was running and then log the result to a file. I did this using Excel VBA with FSO Scripting Runtime. I would like to convert this to a vbs script file to run on a windows server or to something different I can run on a linux server. No part of the code is excel dependant, I was just using the VBA code base. I tried to copy the copy to a vbs text file and execute it but I kept getting errors. What do I have to do to get this to run outside of excel VBA?
