RE: Server to iSeries Commands

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was not sure what the original poster meant by the RUNCMD command - 
there is not an IBM command of that name on the iSeries that I know 
of. It is also not part of DOS or Windows natively. I googled on it 
and found something in DB2 (not the iSeries version).

I'm not even sure what the person meant by "the server" where RUNCMD 
would be found. A PC, SQL Server, Windows server, what? Anyway, I 
assumed the poster wanted to execute a command on the iSeries from a 
non-iSeries machine, as you did. The FTP solution is a good one, in 
that it does require a logon. Another option is turning on the REXEC 
server on the iServer, then using REXEC on a Windows box and pointing 
at the iSeries. If you specify a user, it asks for a password. If 
not, it asks for both user and password. Most shops don't want to 
open up REXEC and might even shut down the FTP subcommand RCMD.
