Re: run command on IFS

["Kerwin Crawford" <crawfork@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I assume that you are talking about cwbrxd.exe and cwbrxdsd.exe.  I have
gotten them to work before.

I had hoped not to involve a PC to do this.  I have some difficulties with
the PC.  1) the IP addresses can change, 2) I can not count on them being up
and running.

With the data, commands, and programs on the IFS I wanted to omit the PC.
If this is my only choice...

Thanks for your reply Pat.

I don't post to this list often, but always get good info when I do.
I also get a lot of good info when I don't post.
Thanks to all for your help and entertainment.
