Using CScript.exe for Script Execution

CScript.exe allows running scripts from the command prompt. It uses the syntax "cscript [host options...] [script name] [script options and parameters]". Host options enable or disable Windows Script Host features and are preceded by two slashes. Script name specifies the script file. Script options and parameters are passed to the script and preceded by a single slash. CScript supports host options like //I for interactive mode and //B for batch mode. The //T parameter sets a time-out limit for script execution. The document provides an example of running the Chart.vbs sample script with and without logos using CScript.
