remote application starting

[phantom713]

I am running a server and there is a program that I need to start on it every now and then.

Is there a way I can remotely start an executable through a DOS promt?

I would like to do it that way so I can create it as a batch job and have it run automaticaly from now on. Laziness is the motive :D


Notes;

Target PC is running NT4 SP6 (I believe this puts "windows scripting host" out of the question)'


Thanks

you can get VNC (virtual networked computer) and run the server software on the server computer, and use the client to get in, what you'll get is a window that shows you the view of the server, and you can do what ever you want to it... it's free software, but i don't know the URl off hand. you might want to lower the resolution on the server to speed it up, because it's sending a lot of data back and forth....

WinVNC url is http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html.

Use with caution. If improperly configured, can be immensely hackable. My experiences, however, have been good. Can be slow at times.

hey thanks guys :)

I ended up creating a program that just starts my appication automaticaly every 15 min to start it.

Automatic is the key here, im lazy and I didnt like repeatedly having to restart a program.
