RE: RUNRMTCMD STRPCCMD

Thanks Scott, I'm beginning to get there.

I notice that I can open Word with 'Start Winword.exe' but the command doesn't wait for Word to be ended. I put the command in a .bat and that way the i5 waits for Word to end. What's happening here exactly?

Now, I want to open a Word document that's common to all users and therefore stored in the IFS. I can only do it if I type my username and password on the RUNRMTCMD. I don't need a password, however, to open a document that's on my PC.

Hi David,

It sounds like the Incoming Remote Command service is not allowed to interact with the desktop.

a) in Windows, click Start -> Run

b) type "services.msc" at the "Open:" prompt, and click OK

c) scroll down to "iSeries Access for Windows Remote Command" (which, on my system, is the only one that starts with the word "iSeries").
Right-click and choose "properties".

d) Stop the service if it's running.

e) On the "Log On" tab, check "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop"., then click "Apply".

f) Start the service again.

I've been using STRPCCMD for a while now to run my PC applications from a green screen.
I need to get the green screen to wait until the the PC application is closed again. The parameter PAUSE doesn't seem to change anything if it's set to *NO or *YES.

I've been looking at RUNRMTCMD. I can execute basic DOS commands like DIR, COPY, but if I try and run a program nothing happens on the PC and the green screen just freezes. Maybe it's waiting for the PC application to finish?

If I open the iseries access for windows box from the control panel, the remote command entry tab is all greyed out. I can open another session with an administrator profile to access this window. How would I be able to set these options so that they are active when I reconnect with my user profile?
