Since mounting a windows share would be similar to mounting another volume on the linux box, running scripts to affect the files would not be a problem.
Another solution would be to install cygwin on the windows box and use your scripts locally.

This linux box will connect directly via an ethernet connection to a windows 2000 box in another room, which will be the major player in image processing and storage. I could change this I suppose, and have the linux box tethered to the camera as the major player, but I am worried about the slow down due to the cable connection. I am going to need to run a number of repetitive image editing commands via scripts on the captured images, after they are sent to the windows 2000 box. For example, they need to be labelled, commented, turned upside down (Our camera is mounted upside down.), and resized, at least. I could do all this before they are sent, but the W2K computer is going to be capturing images, too, and they will need to be edited in a similar fashion. I will be using image magick's collection of command line programs to accomplish this. There are versions of image magick for W2K as well as for linux. Now, since I know nothing of scripting in W2K but a lot about scripting in linux, would it be possible to mount the appropriate W2K directories on the linux box, and run the editing commands in linux, even though the files are stored on the W2K box? It sounds quite reasonable, but, I have never tried this, I don't use windows, and would like to know if this would in fact be workable.
