I am trying to update databases of prices. I use S+ to call Bloomberg's DDE server. A typical set of commands, under bash, would look something like: //d/sp2000/cmd/splus.exe S_PROJ=D\:\\SP2000\\READDATA S_PREF=D\:\\SP2000\\USERS\\JOHNL /Batch_Prompts min /BATCH ..\\roll\\fxdncm.txt fxdncm.out.txt fxdncm.err.txt //d/sp2000/cmd/splus.exe S_PROJ=D\:\\SP2000\\READDATA S_PREF=D\:\\SP2000\\USERS\\JOHNL /Batch_Prompts min /BATCH ..\\roll\\fxdncmxtu.txt fxdncmxtu.out.txt fxdncmxtu.err.txt > You can do this using RCMD (NT), I found 2 mentions of rcmd on the Microsoft site: http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS2000/guide/server/solutions/unixutilities.asp http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/library/resources/reskit/default.asp I am not sure what to make of rcmd. It looks like it is intended for windows 2000, not NT. > Telnet (NT or Cygwin) I have tried to telnet to the computer. I know its IP address and the user names and passwords for the computer. I can't log into the other computer. Do I need to set up something special on the other machine? or SSH. I found http://www.ssh.org/ I am not sure where to start. Do you have any suggestions on a quick and dirty how-to? For example, how do I log onto another machine and: 1) specify the current working directory 2) look for the contents of the directory 3) execute a file in that directory 4) specify a search path 5) execute a file on the search path, in the current working directory Thanks in Advance, Clark ------------------------------------------------------------ --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Before you buy. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
