We are testing standalone VBScripts that will ultimately be run from Plesk's Scheduler.

Obviously we test these scripts on our local development computers before uploading them and trying them via Scheduler.  Some problems we run into with testing these VBScripts include paths to various resources and SQL connection strings.  These scripts will only run a few seconds before crashing and via the email automatically send to us, we are able to see the script's console output to help us debug.

Unfortunately, Scheduler only allows you to schedule scripts to run at the top of the hour.  So, after receiving the email of the VBScript's console output, we make some changes and make sure that Scheduler is set up to run it again at the top of the next hour.  So, we end up waiting at least 45 minutes before we can run the next test.

Is there a way that we can run a VBScript "on demand" to get more testing done in a shorter period of time?
