Re: run remote NT batch files and unix shell scripts from anas400scheduled job

Patrick,

You might want to look at Ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant). You can

script pretty much anything. With Ant, you could send your mail
directly 
using the email task support. I built an Ant command that runs on the 
AS/400 to make it simpler to run Ant scripts, but it needs some work. A

version of that command is available via CVS at
www.iseries-toolkit.org.

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to write a java routine for the as400
that
can run NT batch files and unix shell scripts on the remote NT/unix
machines? The machines are all on the same network.

I would like to capture the output from the batch/shell scripts and
send
the collated results as an email to an administrator. (I am thinking
along
the line of piping the output from the scripts to a file, copy the
files to
the as400 via some ftp type classes, then send off the results via a
System.exec() call to snddst.).

Ideally I would like to keep the java routine platform independent,
allowing me to run it on an NT machine if required.

Thanks
