rsh To A RedHat ES3 Box

[Chris Bingham]

Hi everyone,

I've got a small problem!
I'm writing a Windows program in VB.net that needs to run a script file on a
Linux (RHEL ES 3) box and pick up what the script outputs for later use.

I had hoped i could use ProcessStartInfo & Process to run the windows rsh
exe with the appropriate arguments, so i wrote this code:

Dim p As New Process
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo
psi.FileName = "c:\windows\system32\rsh.exe"
psi.Arguments = "192.168.1.56 exec /usr/work/job.sh"
psi.UseShellExecute = True
p.StartInfo = psi
p.Start()

However, when I run this rsh doesn't seem to use any of the arguments after
the IP Address! The Linux box registers the connection opening & closing, but
never receives the command to run!

Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris
