Hi, What you could do, is a Windows Scheduler job to keep looking for some file on the Linux machine. If it sees that file it will need to execute a script locally. You might find rexec rsh and rcp commands ( that ship with XP) useful. These require rshd demon to be running on your Linux server. ====== If you want to experiment, you could use SSH.I think there are some free SSH servers for Windows. I have to confess that there is no reliable SSH server on windows. But, the good news is, that the SSH clients are stable on Windows.
