Subject: How to start a Win gui app on remote server

Hi Everyone

I would like to execute a command via ssh on a remote Win2000 machine
(with cygwin and ssh server working OK). Then the gui app must start up
interactively in a specified Windows directory. 

I found the closest reference to this in the archives under "How to
launch gui app from cron", but could have missed a closer topic.

I tried the direct command: ssh user AT remote_host
/cygdrive/c/path/program.exe, which starts up program.exe, but in
non-interactive / invisible way.

I also tried calling a DOS batch file, program.bat,

   @echo off
   C:
   chdir C:\Path_To_Program
   program.exe C:\Path_To_Work\program.ini

, using the command: ssh user AT remote_host
/cygdrive/c/path_to_work/program.bat. This once again starts up
program.exe, but in non-interactive / invisible way. So, the program is
still non-interactive, and I dont know in which directory it started.

If anyone knows how this can be done, or where an applicable archive
could be found, would you please respond?

Thanks

Alexander Polson
