Not that this is Perl related, but you can set up sshd inside Cygwin.	[reply]

My rough guess is that it is probably rather irrelevant on what machine your connection starts and where it ends. I regularly log-in to a Linux-server from my Windows XP laptop with "PuTTY" and the Linux-server "connects" to the laptop with rsync to back it up. And Nagios runs across my whole network of Linux and Windows machines to check if they are still alive (using "ping"). CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James	[reply]

Basically, I've got some event correlation software churning through data and I want to log into a Windows box and add a route. So I'd need to: 1. Connect to Windows Box to use CLI 2. Run command "Route add IP" 3. Record output on linux server 4. Close connection	[reply]

Hello, I might be misunderstanding exactly what you're looking for, however, if you simply want to run a command, wait for the output, and record it... a possibilty with Perl is Net::Telnet? (If you have a telnet service running on the box) Connecting to a Windows box this way does have it's drawbacks because of the way Telnet is handled by Msoft. But it is doable. ------------------------- Cave ab homine unius libri	[reply]
