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

# empty.vbs is an empty file (except for a comment), which does | |
# nothing when run with cscript or wscript. | |
# | |
# A possible improvement would be to have empty.vbs do something that | |
# we can detect here, to make sure that not only the os.startfile() | |
# call succeeded, but also the the script actually has run. | |
