Hi--I have a UNIX web server and a Windows machine. My manager is
asking me to script the
following tasks so that they can be run from the Windows machine (via a
batch file):

1. Shutdown web services on remote UNIX server.
2. FTP (ie, get) various files/folders from the UNIX server to Windows
client.
3. Startup web services on the UNIX server.

I can accomplish #1 using putty's "plink" command, but I need help
figuring out how to get my Windows script to validate that the "Web
Services shutdown"
completes successfully before it attempts to FTP (ie, get) the UNIX
files.

Also, I'd appreciate any ideas for getting my Windows script to
validate the "Web Services startup" completes successfully.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!
 
Years ago I used a product named Hummingbird. Don't know if can do what you
want but its worth a look.
