As I live and work on Windoze I might have got the wrong end of this stick. It looks like you want a way to execute something on a remote (Windoze) machine.

I think you'll find that Windoze does have a service similar to Rexec (a bold statement given I don't actually know what Rexec is) it's called "Remote CMD Service" and you need the NTReskit to install it. Once installed and with the service running you can use RCMD.exe to issue remote commands to the box.

In case anyone is actually interested in this, an alternative and simpler solution can be found at http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml
PsExec will do what is wanted here, without the need to have any service installed or started. (The other tools are also most usefull in general NT support).
I use both tools generally and in my scripts (Software distribution and general reporting).

I am a scripter, I know I am only a scripter, but I like scripting and I can't program
