RunRmtCmd should work. You need to do a "net start [servicename]"

I've also used Aaron Bartell's RPG2DeskTop utility to kick off jobs on a Win PC.

John,

By "nudged" it sounds like you want to restart the service. I forget what
it's called on Windows systems, but would something like RUNRMTCMD work for
you?

Subject: Network task

From a DOS command line, I can perform some simple tasks on another
computer. One, for example, is net time \\computername

Is there a way of doing this on the i?

We have a service on a Windows server that needs to be nudged at apparently
random intervals. On that specific server, a service is stopped and
restarted. We have a program on the i that can indicate whether the remote
computer service needs to be nudged. What I would like to do is have that
program be able to do that nudging. But, that appears to be based on
understanding what happens when a net time \\computername is performed. Is
that command using a networking function that the i does not have?
