We send a command to the guest console. We have a PROP user that monitors the consoles and is also able to send commands to the guest. Usually the commands are scripts but also regular linux commands can be executed. Downside is that the console doesn't always handle command output correctly so if you want command output to be processed afterwards you should trap the output into a file and send the file back to VM (using vmur).
For instance, when a RDR file arrives at the guest, PROP triggers a script that will receive the RDR file. Or when we want to shutdown the guest we execute the shutdown command on the console. Some commands, for instance ls, will run inside a script to trap the output and that is sent back to the requesting user on VM. It's zero cost, except for the programming of some exec's in VM and scripts in the guests. Both logging and security is maintained at various levels. Regards, Berry.

I'm trying to remotely execute a command with CMS as the client and SLES 11 SP 1 as the server. All documentation I've found so far, shows how to do it from Linux to VM. Apparently the problem is, TCPIP for VM only has the unsecured REXEC client and SLES 11 only has a secured sshd. I've searched the VM download page for a ssh client. I've done some Linux searches for how to dumb down sshd (i.e. to allow unsecured transfers). Of course, there might be program products available, but unless they would be zero cost products, it's not going to happen in the short term.
