RE: RUNRMTCMD

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Thomas:

There's no way to tell from what you've sent whether your example would work or 
not.

You show a profile/password, but is it a local PC user or a network profile and 
how is authentication done on that PC? Domain? Workgroup?

What properties were specified on the iSeries Access properties panel for 
Incoming Remote Command?

And is that the actual PC command you want to run? I.e., do you want it to run 
as if it were typed by an interactive PC user on a Windows command line? Or do 
you want it to run as a background task? or...? Aren't there any parms you want 
passed to the PC program?

Overall, I'd say RUNRMTCMD is a far better choice than STRPCO/STRPCCMD, but it 
does require more setup work up front.

As for logging, the REXEC jobs on your AS/400 have nothing to do with this; 
those jobs allow other systems to run remote commands on your AS/400. The 
logging you'll need will be on the PC if any is created. Look in Control 
Panel=>Administrative Tools=>Event Viewer.
