communication between unix machine and windows

[sz07]

Hello every one. I am a new member. Sorry if I sound silly.

Can anybody give me some ideas on how to trigger an windows application in an unix machine? e.g., how can I send an message from an unix machine to trigger off an .exe (an application) in windows machine.

Regards,
Sandra

if the windows machine allows remote login you can rdesktop to connect to it

Welcome to The Scripts.
How complicated do you want this to be? Because it can get to be quite complicated, depending on the level of control you want to have.
Perhaps if you could explain you situation a little more thoroughly, I could formulate a solution to your problem.

I was wondering if anyone had an answer to this. I have to do something similiar to this but in reverse. From a Windows NT/XP/2003 box start a process on a Unix Sun box.

Any ideas would be apprecieated, Mike McCarthy

What if you log on to unix machine by using "putty" or "ssh secure shell"?
You can do whatever you want...........

The question is what do you really want to do? Do you want to do something automatic? Or do you just want to log on and start a process?

The answer of how to do it will depend on what you want to do.
