I am trying to run / start a unix shell script from inside a vb application.  The vb application is on an nt 4 service pack 6 box.  
 
Peter,<br><br>Do you have <b>rexec</b> available on the NT box? It's part of the UNIX kit for NT from MS (I think) but not a standard part of NT.<br><br>If you do - this will allow you to run commands on the UNIX box. You'll have to talk to your UNIX admin so that (s)he can set things up so that this is allowed.<br><br> <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href= Cargill's Corporate Web Site</a><br>
