Hi
I need to execute a batch file on a Remote server. The remote server OS is WINDOWS XP. I think RSH and REXEC utilities are for UNIX OS.

could any body suggest hints on it.

thanks
Nivas

You might want to rethink that.

Look into ssh as well when rethinking

I tried with rsh as follows
rsh <host> -l <userid> <command>

I am getting error as Connection refused.Can't establish connection.

Could you please suggest hints.

thanks
Nivas

Some hints from my end

RSH is not running on your Win XP
MS does not provide RSH for windows
There are open and close source implementations which you need to install and open up some ports - your IT team may have interesting opinions on that
If you have an enterprise scheduler, use it to trigger the batch file.

HTH,
