Running a batch file on a remote PC Can't Post
Hi

I have to run a batch file on a remote PC.

Scenario

1. Run a perl script on machine A
2. from the perl script execute a batch file (which runs a exe in C)
3. batch file takes arguments

Not sure where to start looking.Is there a CPAN module that I can start with

Thanks lot

You need something on server (machine C) and client (machine A) sides both. For example you may consider such solution:

* Run SSH daemon on server side
* Use Net::SSH::Perl module on client side

In addition this solves some security issues (channel between A and C is encrypted) .

You need to install OpenSSH for Windows

Hi hem,

I've been reading about GRID::Machine on CPAN http://search.cpan.org/~casiano/GRID-Machine-0.104/lib/GRID/Machine.pod.
It may be overkill for your use case, but then handling ssh exit codes and failure use cases is a pain as well.

Cheers,

Larry

I think that it is better to NOT install any additional soft. Instead you can use existing mechanism as WMI. All you need is to google a bit. I tried to gogle it and found this http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/sept04/hey0901.mspx Look:

Using WMI, you can connect to a remote machine (assuming you have local administrator rights, of course) and then run any piece of software that’s installed on that machine.
 As I think it is what you need.
