1 # Ridiculously simple test of the os.startfile function for Windows.

     3 # empty.vbs is an empty file (except for a comment), which does

     4 # nothing when run with cscript or wscript.

     6 # A possible improvement would be to have empty.vbs do something that

     7 # we can detect here, to make sure that not only the os.startfile()

     8 # call succeeded, but also the the script actually has run.
