UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi all,

Please advise how do i find services status running on windows machines

from Linux.
=-=====================
Some one developed a script use rsh command to find the status but it stopped working.

rsh <Some IIS server Name> service -S < Windows Server name where service running> query <Service Name>

Please help me to find rsh config needed on windows and Linux boxes.
=======================

or is there any other way to do this.

Thanks,
Ashish

If the script has not been changed then the fault will lie at the Windows end, either the rsh service has been disabled or a firewall is blocking the rsh port into the Windows machines. Installing an SSH server on the Windows machines (see Free SSH for Windows 9x, NT, ME, 2000 and XP ) would be far more secure.

What error messages do you see when you run the rsh command please?
What response do you get if you telnet to the rsh port, e.g.:
<code>
$ telnet <Some IIS server name> 514
</code>
?
