The easiest way to do this on Windows NT/2000/XP systems is to remotely set a task via the scheduler. The quickest way to do this would be to use the Win32::AdminMisc extension available from http://www.roth.net/perl/adminmisc (he also has a ppm repository for installing it), but you can also use the Win32::Lanman module. The only downside is that since the scheduler runs as the LocalSystem account by default, you can't run programs on remote machines in this manner. You have to copy the files locally first. From what I understand you can also do this using WMI, but I haven't delved into that area yet. If you are going to be working on primarily NT/2000/XP clients, you might want to check out the perl-ntadmins mailing list at topica.com, too. There are a few people there that can give you NT-specific perl help. One final piece of advice, check out Dave Roth's Win32 Perl: the Standard Extensions 2nd edition. It has a lot of examples on administering NT systems using Perl. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Molin To: norishaam Cc: beginners@perl.org Sent: 3/4/02 1:38 AM Subject: Re: Running a command Remotely on another Host norishaam wrote: > > Hi, > I've been trying to figure out the above, maybe someone has some > experience...Below is the scenario:- > > 1.

I don't know windows really but the way i'd do it in *nix would be by ssh, and there are ssh servers for windows too, aren't there? You could either use the ssh module or just use ssh from shell /Jon > > \|||/ > (o o) > ----ooO-(_)-Ooo-------- > Norishaam Adam > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscribe@perl.org > For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-help@perl.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscribe@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-help@perl.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
