Running a Linux commmand from within VS.2003 executable

[Halliarse]

Help!!

I have written a Visual Basic, VS.2003 executable that generates csv files and saves them to a Linux server, running Centos (Very basic stuff!!), however, once the csv file is in place, I want to be able to automatically log on to the Linux server, navigate to a specified path and then run a Linux command with parameters which include the previously contructed csv file name.

....and now in English...I want to know how to create / run a script from within my executable.

Any help will be, as always, greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Steve

Look into using the System.Diagnostics.Process class to run a telnet or ssh client (such as PuTTY). Use the System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo class to pass parameters to the telnet/ssh client, such as connection info, the csv file name, etc.

You don't need to run the script from the executable. Centos can be set up to watch the path in natively using Gamin and Inotify.
