There's a utility from Sysinternals.com called 'psexec' which allows you to execute programs on a remote machine. Might try that. All their utilities are free.

Ok, here the scenario: We have different scripts on a server to exchange data with a customer, the scripts a running fine. The thing is, that different users have to run these scripts on demand and for now, they call us and we manually start the scripts. I don't want to give the users access to the server, so I'm looking for is a simple batch file or script on the users computer which starts a script on the server. The workstations are WinNT or w2k, the server is w2k. If someone could briefly describe which ways are out there to do this and point me in the right direction, that would be great. The rest I will figure out by myself, it's just that I don't know all the possibilities and where to start/to look. Sure, if someone has done this already and can provide a sample script that would help too. Thanks, Andreas. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
