Start notepad from Linux script

[Yuri Weinstein \(HotMail\)]

Hi all,

I need to start a program, say 'notepad' on a remote Linux system on a
Windows box.

Can this be done with minimum extra software installed on a Windows box?

Thx

Notepad on Linux on Windows? Good luck there.

I doubt you could start anything on a Linux system using VBScript or
WSH, but Perl or any of the Linux scripting languages may work. Try
asking in groups related to those scripting technologies.

No - start notepad on a remote Windows box from a script running on Linux
system.

No - start notepad on a remote Windows box from a script running on
Linux system.

If you got Cygwin (see http://cygwin.com) then you could set up rsh. I
think there's also an rsh from Microsoft. If that were so then it'd be
"rsh <windowsbox> notepad".

No - start notepad on a remote Windows box from a script running on Linux
system.

Maybe RMI can help you?

Then definitely not using VBScript or WSH, which won't run on Linux.
