This question has risen before. I have an idea I have never tried, but it sounds reasonable. Have a share on your windows client with a file called Run_it or somesuch. When this file is moved to another folder in the share, a daemon on the windows box spots the file in this folder and does whatever Run_it says to do. Run_it could just be a program name or could contain the entire program to run. But, this is just talk by an amateur. Joel
