I was try to use Active script to check the server. The vbscitpt is always work if manual run "cscript checkserver.vbs" command in DOS. But use active script run, sometime it will open the DOS and hang.

I think, your script does not met requirements, so you should adjust it a bit:
1. script must contain "performtest" function. HM always call function with this name
2. "performtest" function must not have any parameters
3. "performtest" function must return string value. This string contains two parts separated by colon (:) . First obligatory part contains test status, it can take following values:

* "Host is alive"
* "No answer"
* "Unknown"
* "Unknown host"
* "Ok"
* "Bad"
* "Bad contents"

Second optional part contains "Reply" value, HostMonitor displays this value in Reply field, writes to log files, uses to displays charts (Log Analyzer), etc.
Please, read the following article for details: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... htm#script

Also you may use examples, located in \Examples\Scripts subfolder of HostMonitor folder.

Alternative solution is to use "Shell Script" test method. But in any case, script should suit requirements: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#chkShell

Open DOS? Do you mean script opens some additional window? Normally script should not do this.. may be your script needs some additional input or it tries to show some error?

I use psexec command in the vbscript. It is the psexec command STDOUT or STDERR problem.

I disable STDOUT and STDERR in the vbscript and then the problem has been fixed.
