Hi, I need to execute an unix shell from my VB application. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.
 
You can't run VB on Unix.

If you want to connect to a Unix box w/VB you could use telnet.

 
I am afraid I was not clear. I am developing a VB application, then I need to run a shell on an Unix server. I wrote the shell, it is on the unix server.
When you are working on an unix computer, you can execute a command at another unix pc by using the rcmd command:
rcmd [host IP] [command]

I need to do the same task, but from a windows computer.
