Anyone heard of a Remote Shell NLM?

[bakbone]

The goal is to hand a trigger to a unix machine from the NW console. I'm using CRON to mount volumes and load NLMs in preparation for a series of backup jobs. I can go ahead and schedule the jobs to run.... assuming that there was no problem mounting the volumes. It would make life alot easier if I could hand the backup server a trigger to start the jobs after i'm certain volumes are ready.

So either an RSH.NLM or some other way to RPC into a Unix box from the NW console via a script.

you want to do what? I don't think there is a product out there that does what your looking for.

unless you can send commands via SSH or VNC
because Netware has both.

Have you considered using Perl for this? Lovely stuff, if a bit weird on Netware...

Do you actually use the GUI on your servers?

Thanks George ... SSH works great.
The schedule is going to be pretty nasty tho.

ssh root@192.168.1.10 /usr/netvault/util/nvtrigger trigger_job_1

There is a nice CRON setup form in iManager
