    How to start a process on a remote PC

    Is it possible to start a process on a remote PC from a VB.NET application.

    I allready found a way to start a process on the local pc but I should be able to start for example the Winword.exe application on a remote PC.

    How to do this ?

    Thanks in advance

    If you have an application on the other computer (e.g. a listener) then you can just send command to that app. to fire up the word application.

    I did like these ( just for fun ).

    I installed An apacheserver, and that is very easy with the last version.

    Installed PHP ( a bit harder, but if you are a coder you can manage it ).

    Wrote a PHP-script that just make a flat textfile.

    Wrote an app in VB.NET that use a select case event when my filedateinfo on the textfile was changed.

    And out of what command was in that textfile it does what i want.

    In that way, i am able to send commands with a std webbrowser.
