Use Unix shell script to open Windows command prompt (cmd)
Hello,
I work on Windows and I use Putty to access a remote UNIX server.
I am trying to build a shell script that will have as main task to open the
Windows command prompt (cmd) and run some Windows commands thereafter. The commands are actually file transfer commands that will download a file from the Unix server onto my local computer (Windows). I will specify all the commands within a text file and will pass that file
when calling the Windows command prompt so that they are then executed.
The challenge is how to call a Windows program (i.e. command prompt here) using Unix shell script!!!
The commands for the file transfer are working well, already tested. I'm using WinSCP. But the big thing as said is that I shall initiate that call from Unix (shell script).
Please help!
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

cfdpadmin
CFDPADMIN(1) CFDP executables CFDPADMIN(1)
NAME
cfdpadmin - ION's CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) administration interface
SYNOPSIS
cfdpadmin [ commands_filename | . ]
DESCRIPTION
cfdpadmin configures, starts, manages, and stops CFDP operations for the local ION node.
It operates in response to CFDP configuration commands found in the file commands_filename, if provided; if not, cfdpadmin prints a simple
prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard input. If commands_filename is a period (.), the effect is the same
as if a command file containing the single command 'x' were passed to cfdpadmin -- that is, the ION node's cfdpclock task and UT layer
service task (nominally bputa) are stopped.
The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from cfdpadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at the prompt. The commands are
documented in cfdprc(5).
EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion of CFDP administration.
EXAMPLES
cfdpadmin
Enter interactive CFDP configuration command entry mode.
cfdpadmin host1.cfdprc
Execute all configuration commands in host1.cfdprc, then terminate immediately.
cfdpadmin .
Stop all CFDP operations on the local node.
FILES
See cfdprc(5) for details of the CFDP configuration commands.
ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply.
DIAGNOSTICS
Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the cfdprc
file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to cfdpadmin. Otherwise
cfdpadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily.
The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log:
cfdpadmin can't attach to ION.
There is no SDR data store for cfdpadmin to use. You should run ionadmin(1) first, to set up an SDR data store for ION.
Can't open command file...
The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist.
Various errors that don't cause cfdpadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands
given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file. Please see cfdprc(5) for details.
