I am running a windows desktop(XP Professional) and connect to a unix solaris machine.
I have a unix shell script that I execute via telnet - like :

telnet server_name
Will enter userid
Will enter password
cd $CARHOME
del_car_reports.ksh
exit

Is there a way to automate this to run on windows. I mean, an icon on the windows desktop which on a double-click
can do the above and exit ? Any ideas or other tricks are appreciated

You can't do it using telnet. However, you can do it using an ssh client (e.g. plink http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~s...download.html). Alternatively, there are built-in Windows tools rsh and rexec but their corresponding daemons are probably disabled on your unix server as they are insecure.

I couldn't get that link to work. How do you get to it from the main page?
