Calling Win32 files from Unix shell scripts

[gd001]

Hi,

I need to call a Win32file (can be an Exe and a dll) from a Unix Shell.I am currently using HP-Ux.I need to get the results back to the calling Unix Shell for furthur processing. Is there a an Implementation way to do this from Unix without installing Exceed or CYGWin or any such tools.

Let me know at the earliest

Thanks

The Windows Resource Toolkit provides RCMD:

Remote Command Service: (Rcmd.exe & Rcmdsvc.exe) - The Remote Command Service (Rcmd.exe) provides a secure, robust way to remotely administer and run command-line programs. (RCMDSRV also included.)

Of course, rcmd.exe won't run under HP-UX.

It does seem like the most reasonable path is to install CygWin. Windows also has a telnet server and you can install sshd, but that's pretty much the same conceptually as installing CygWin.
