I have to run this script on a remote Linux host using a batch file in
windows .....
I have to do this daily and would like to automate the process ....i
have been using telnet to connect and runnin the script everyday
manually......Is it possible to have a batch file on which i can double
click on my desktop and it would do everything for me ??
Can some one advice me on how to write the batch file .....
the batch file should have :
1. command to connect to the remote linux host
2. command to run a particular script on the linux host

Also is it possible to automate the login process ??

Telnet is insecure in that data is passed as clear text. You might
consider having the sshd daemon/service running on linux and use an
ssh client to connect.

Sounds like a windows news group scripting question.

You can have your batch script on linux run daily for you using cron or at .

Hi.  If you use better subject lines people are less likely to assume
your post isn't worth reading.

First question is - why would you do it this way?  You could just use
cron on the linux box and eliminate the whole Windows/Batch/scheduling
thing.

All of these things are likely possible but again, would we be helping
you solve the problem in the wrong way?  Linux can handle the scheduling
itself without adding external dependancies on your desktop system.
Would that work for what you're trying to do?
