Sorry back from Vacation and my Bacholar Party.
Thanks exactly what I want to do. Use the VNC from the server to remotely open
another client (they are all running in the clients background.) Hum, but to you
still need to be able to control a separate client pc with the pc you are
using......... Maybe this wont work......
OH well one less thing on the checklist to do!
thanks for your thoughts

Mike-
Ray was right. You can't directly run programs on a
client's computer. It's a big fat security disaster
waiting to happen.
VNC, however, does allow for backwards connections. The
client can be in "listen" mode, and will accept
connections from a server. This may accomplish just what
you need. Check out the docs at
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvncviewer.html.
Unfortunately, the client must be listening. There's no
way to force a connection otherwise.
It might take some creative scripting to get it to open
the connection to a listening computer, but it's
physically possible. Somehow :)

Subject: VNC & cfexecute
Anyone run cfexecute to start up vnc on a client pc with
the IP address plugged in? Also does the name path in
cfexecute mean the clients path or the servers path?
THanks
