Re: Re: How to run a process on an NT server from a client computer

Let's see if I can clarify: I want to do something similar to the system() command. However, the external program I want to run is on a remote computer on my network. The program that I want to run can only be run on that remote computer (i.e. nodelocked program). From my computer, how can I execute a remote *.exe file?

There are many programs out there for remote execution. You can use a unix-like rsh, or a COM-based thing, or a few others. Find one you like, and use that from Perl. There's one or two in the Resource Kit. I think it was on sysinternals.com where I saw one that didn't need software installed on the remote system first. You could even write your own in a few lines of Perl using a socket or named pipe interface.	[reply]
