Re: 400 to 4690 POS Store Controller

Hello Neil,

If they are running a variant of OS/2 then there should be a program called 
rexecd.exe in \tcpip\bin which is the remote command server.  This must be 
active before the AS/400 can send commands.

You can start that by:
        1/ Using TCPCFG and selecting rexecd under the autostart tab

        2/ Typing START REXECD 

You must also assign a password for REXEC users.  You can do that from 
TCPCFG under the Security tab on the second page.  You can also do that by 
simply adding the USER and PASSWD environment variables to CONFIG.SYS.  
Either method will require a reboot and is not exactly secure.  A slightly 
better method is to open an OS/2 command window, run set USER=user-name, run 
set PASWD=password, then run rexecd.  This method won't require a reboot.  
The REXECD server will listen on port 512 unless the services file points it 
elsewhere.

There is also a client program called rexec.exe which will allow you to send 
commands to the AS/400 if the AS/400 remote command server is active. The 
AS/400 TCP server is called *REXEC.  Use STRTCPSVR to activate it.

Details on the OS/2 implementations of rexec and rexecd are in the TCP/IP 
command reference which can be found by:

        a/ Open the Assistance Center folder (usually on the desktop)
        b/ Open the Information folder
        c/ Expand the Reference and Commands tree
        d/ Double-click on TCP/IP Command Reference

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
