This is not really a Perl question, but I would say that your chances of running UNIX apps directly off of a UNIX share are pretty slim. As for the X-Windows, Xmanager from NetSarang works pretty well. You can run X-Windows based applications from Windows.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Microsoft Services for UNIX/LINUX Hello, The start of another year means new projects and hence more questions. Are there any tools with the capabilities of (SFU 3.0) that allow users to transparently run ?[ULi]nix-based applications (say, shell scripts) from a Windows environment? My current working environment consists of Windows-XP boxes and Sun Servers. Users first log on through an Windows-XP terminal, and are then granted access to UNIX services through putty-eXceed. Once connected through eXceed, they run applications either through a text-based, Tcl-based, X-Windows based menu. What I would like to do is to enable users to simply map UNIX-based drives on which their applications reside, and then click on selected applications (since most of them are used to the Microsoft point-and-click or Run tool). I was wondering if anyone on this list have had any luck with this technique of executing UNIX-based applications. One thing that comes to mind is CGI-scripting, but this is not an option for me. every comment/suggestion/pointers will be very much appreciated. Thank you. __________________ William Ampeh (x3939) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
