How to execute command on Unix though Windows bat file

[nguyenvandong]

Hi all,

I have problem and looking for a while without solution; want to use a windows script file (bat file) to login into unix box and execute some command to run an application on unix , for exemple...

Please is anybody knows/did such a similar things or provide links for that?

Many thanks for support,

Ely.

You could have the job already running on the Unix server in a wait loop looking for a "handshake" file which you transfer from the Windows server.

Ged,

I've done that in the past but had the odd spot of bother when the wait loop process dies for some reason or other.

The way I do it now is to run a very lightweight shell script every minute using cron; then, when the handshake file appears, run the main script or program.

The disadvantage of this approach is that you have the overhead of running something every minute, which is why I make sure it's very lightweight. Mike

Thanks for the clue; please can you show me how to do that? a sample or else? I have no idea where to start.

Many thanks,

use rsh command this will let you run a job on unix from you bat file. Use also rcp command to retrieve anu file generated by your unix program

rsh = remote shell
rcp = remote copy

have those programs installed on you pc
