Linux to Windows

[morphyno]

Hi:

I have a network monitored by a linux box. I also have a windows laptop running data loggers (power/fans periperal health stuff). I would like to tie the windows box into a automated setup. So from my linux box, i can start/stop the data loggers anytime. Any suggestions? If this is a linux laptop, i can just have a script that SSH in and run some scripts...unfortunately, i can not do that here.

Much Thanks
Morgan

freeSSHd (http://www.freesshd.com/) is faily lightweight and self-contained (no need to install bits and pieces of Cygwin, etc.). For that matter you can probably use the built in Telnet service in Windows.

This presumes your Windows software can be controlled from a command prompt however.

Thanks for the feedback. Yea, i was able to find a Linux API of the application and was able to by-passing windows completely. So now I just have two linux boxes talking to each other over SSH. Thank goodness i wont have to deal with this again (anytime soon)

Also, I'm going to suggest you a tutorial to install and configure it under Windows: How to install OpenSSH sshd server and sftp server on Windows (http://chinese-watercolor.com/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html) ;)
