Cannot read psexec output

Hi All

I'm trying to use the Process/ProcessStartInf o class to use
sysinternals psexec tool to run a remote command but I'm unable to get
the output. The same command thru a DOS window runs fine on a remote
server.

The code is very simple...

_logger.Debug(s tring.Format("F ilename: {0} Args: {1}", pathToExe,
args));

pc = new Process();

pc.StartInfo.Fi leName = pathToExe;
pc.StartInfo.Ar guments = args;
pc.StartInfo.Cr eateNoWindow = true;
pc.StartInfo.Us eShellExecute = false;
pc.StartInfo.Re directStandardO utput = true;

if (pc.Start())
{
output = pc.StandardOutp ut.ReadToEnd();

pc.WaitForExit( 20 * 1000);
}

return output;

But the process seems to wait forever. I even tried getting the log of
the parameters namely pathToExe and args and then running it manually
and that ran fine.

Any hints are appreciated.

thanks

Hi Sunit,

why reinvent the wheel? See here:

[Debugging Tools for Windows]
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtoo...nstallx86.mspx

It comes with a tool called "remote.exe " which can run a command
remotely and display its content (with interaction!) on your local system.
It's intended for the usage in driver development scenarios, but you can
use it wherever you think it will help you. And i think it is usefull in you
case,...

It just works fine and you dont have to redirect output stream with your
code.

BTW you should redirect any stream from the console to be able
to get any returned stream from the console output, this includes
also the errors and whatever your console outputs (socket, pipe,etc,...)

Regards

Kerem

I'm trying to wrap a psexec command in a python script so I can capture the results and generate an exception report. The problem I'm having is that when I use x = os.popen("command") to do it, it runs, but the content of x is empty. I know there should be output sent to it, because when I run the command from the DOS prompt, it shows it. I don't have this problem when wrapping other PSTools. Has anyone else had this problem, or can...
