Question Execute script on Unix/Linux from Windows

Hello ALL,

Does anyone know how I can execute a script on Unix or Linux? Details: This execution needs to start from Windows and I need to pass some parameters to the script.
If anyone knows how to execute, please, let me know. Please, send me an example how it is possible.

Thanks.

How about using ssh? You will have to download a ssh client for windows. Putty is a good client, but I dont know if it will serve your purpose. Just check for some other client.

BTW, the syntax for ssh will be:
ssh username@hostname command any_arguments_here

Hello blowtorch,

Thank you for your information. I will check about the software, however, I was thinking to use some DOS Commands.
Actually, my application will execute a routine that allows to send some DOS Command. In this case, this DOS command will need to execute a script on Unix or Linux and I need to pass some parameters too.
Do you believe that this product will reach the goal?
Thank you.
Regards.

A DOS command? Do you mean command line execution at the dos prompt? Because you will have to run a unix script/command on the remote system. There's no way around that.

Command line execution at the DOS prompt is possible for SSH, you just have to look for a client that will give you that functionality.

see if you can install cygwin ... then create dos batch file that ...

1. sets your parameters
2. calls ssh to run remote commands on remote server

do a search on "ssh" on this forum and/or google to get that setup and you should be on your way ... btw, cygwin is at www.cygwin.com ...
