Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Multiple instances of windows exe from unix Post 302274626 by angheloko on Thursday 8th of January 2009 03:11:11 AM

Hi sam99,

As far as I know, it would be impossible or hard to implement a direct connection where a command issued in a UNIX environment will affect a WIN based machine, but of course there is always some other ways.

Socket Programming Option:
For the UNIX machine, you can have a java or C program that sends "requests" to the WIN machine via sockets while the WIN machine will have another program (could be developed using VB6/.NET) that listens also via socket. Try searching for socket programming for further reference.

The Other Option:
Another option would be to have a program or script in the WIN machine (a vbscript will do) that runs infinitely, or regularly, that checks for new "requests" in the form of a flat file. The flat file would be the flag/token that will server as the "request" or signal to initiate another instance of the .exe. An update or the existence of that flat file can serve as the trigger for the script in the WIN machine to do so. In the end you'll need a minimum of 2 scripts to pull this off, one in the WIN machine (listener) and another in the UNIX machine (an FTP script will do).

XUnmapWindow(3X11)						     MIT X11R4							XUnmapWindow(3X11)

Name
       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

Syntax
       XUnmapWindow(display, w)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;

       XUnmapSubwindows(display, w)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;

Arguments
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w	 Specifies the window.

Description
       The function unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an event.  If the specified window is already unmapped, has no
       effect.	Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed.  Any child window will no longer be visible until another
       map call is made on the parent.	In other words, the subwindows are still mapped but are not visible until the parent is mapped.  Unmapping
       a window will generate events on windows that were formerly obscured by it.

       can generate a error.

       The function unmaps all subwindows for the specified window in bottom-to-top stacking order.  It causes the X server to generate an event
       on each subwindow and events on formerly obscured windows.  Using this function is much more efficient than unmapping multiple windows one
       at a time because the server needs to perform much of the work only once, for all of the windows, rather than for each window.

       can generate a error.

Diagnostics
       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
