Call job on a different server to run from sequence

Hi,

I am sure someone has done it before.
I need to call a sequence job located on server2 from a sequence job located on server1. I realize it can be done somehow using a command stage and call a batch file that has a command line in it for the job from server2.
I looked at dsjob command but didn't find anything that will set the server to use.
What is the right command to use?
Thanks,
Juls

Juls, the dsjob command lets you specify server, userid and password to do any of the actions on a remote machine. Please look at page 19-140 of the Server Job Developer's Guide for more information.

To do this from a job sequence on one server to run on a separate server you could run dsjob from an Execute Command activity. You only need to specify the foreign server name and authentication information once.
