rsh from unix to windows

hi,

I am trying yo run a batch file (located on windows server) from unix (solaris). I use below command to do it,

Code:
rsh WINPRD1 -l WINPRD1+username "..\\directiory\\batchfile.bat"

But I guess some port/service need to be enabled as its giving me below error,

WINPRD1 Connection refused

you should use ssh instead of rsh and make sure an ssh server is installed on windows side so it can handle your command.

Of course the network the connection goes through should be set up so that it authorizes such access (open the relevant port, no blocking firewall rules)

Windows, by default, has no remote access capabilities other than the graphical "Remote Desktop Connection", which can't be automated. This means: no RSH, no SSH, ...

You'll have to install an appropriate service on the Windows machine first (I'd suggest SSH instead of RSH), or have a program poll the UNIX server at certain intervals for a trigger, at which point it starts the batch file.

We have had a lot of luck with both ssh (using cygwin sshd), and winexe which is like the windows sysinternals "psexec" and needs no extra software installed on the windows box.

I hope this helps.
