Hi Bob, I also got the REXEC prog from Telamon. After some testing, it seem= s that all works fine. Have a good day, Alain ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________= ________ Subject: Re: HP3000 job to run HP9000 task... Author: HP3000-L ([log in to unmask]) at INET,MM Date: 20/07/1996 00:38 Alain, I posted a similar message a couple of weeks ago. I haven't got= much further with this, but what I'm experimenting with is the port of REXEC I got from the Telamon ftp site. From a batch job, I can run REXE= C with a host name, a user name, and a command to execute on the remote ho= st. The only glitch I've seen is that you are always prompted for a password= , even if the remote user doesn't have a password. Other than that, it se= ems to work fine. I've done some trivial testing, sending a file to the rem= ote host, running a program on the remote host that creates an output file, = then picking up the output file for more processing on the 3000. So far, so = good, Good luck, Bob Rose
