my client uses an winapplication which is launching shell-scripts remotely on a HP-Unix Machine via Rexec.
The application-configuration is launching the script (which is in the home directory of connecting user) like:
So far so good, everything works.
Now they decided to get rid of the quite expensive HP-Unix server and asked me to do the same on a Linux-Distro. I set up CentOS and the REXEC-daemon, but....
1. When I launch the script against new Linux server with (same command as it is done towards old HP Unix):

2. When I launch the script with:
it works, but the problem is that i am not allowed to change the settings in the application. So I have to find a solution to launch the script like in point 1 above.
I tried already to put the script-folder to the PATH-variable, but it did not help.
Does somebody know what else I can do? My only little goal is to get this script launched using the commands at point 1.
PS: I know REXEC is not secure, but it's a requirement by company
