Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Running a UNIX command from Windows Post 67015 by tanku on Sunday 20th of March 2005 11:23:05 AM

i think you need to run a service on the unix computer running on some port and write a client on windows to connect to it. i think its a security problem if you allow client to issue any commands so you have to know what you want exactly from the server.

for example this service using gawk gives out time to clients that connect to port 8888 similar to daytime:

Code:
BEGIN {
  print strftime() |& "/inet/tcp/8888/0/0"
  close("/inet/tcp/8888/0/0")
}


example client (gawk)
Code:
BEGIN {
  "/inet/tcp/0/localhost/8888" |& getline
  print $0
  close("/inet/tcp/0/localhost/8888")
}
