Windows Unix communication

Hi All
I am using a QTP testing tool which is in windows and

I need to connect to a unix machine from the windows and execute a shell script which will throw some log files and i need to open one log file and get a number (no. of records) and use it in my Testing tool script which is in windows.

QTP will invoke putty and connet to unix machine and try executing the script

but
i was thinking of other stable alter native like a Perl script from windows will connect to unix via ssh and execute a perl script in unix which will in turn run the shell and get the data
Please throw some light on this scenario


Thanks
Arulraj

Do you mean Putty's "putty.exe" or Putty's "plink.exe", as "plink.exe" is a fully fledged SSH client

Alternatives include using the Cygwin environment or Microsoft's Services For UNIX.
