Remote script invocation

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

Had this weird issue that need expertise help.

Here is the scenario.

I have Server A (Unix) and Server B (Windows 2000). I need to invoke a script on Server B from Server A. If it was a windows to windows invocation, I could have done it with WMI. How do I go about it from Unix to Windows??

Can anyone help as I need the solution very urgent.

Thanks

Holly

haven't seen anything that will do that unless you just happen to write your own client-server program that a unix box can access on the windows box and with sufficient rights to run the script ... pretty much the same problem the other way ...

There are many ways. For instance, even a Web service based on entirely HTTP(S) will work provided your destination host has a Web server installed. Then you can even avoid socket-related matters.

thanks for the inputs, But there ain't no Web server installed on the windows box nor I can have any kinda code/script on the windows box. This leaves me with the only option of scripts.

Also, installing a web/app server on the windows box is out of question.. its a critical server.. can't have anything on it.

I have a .bat file on Windows and I have to invoke this from the Unix box. What are the options? Please Help.
