RE: Network task

Try it like this:

RUNRMTCMD CMD(' net time \\winserver') RMTLOCNAME('ip.your.pc.xx' *IP)

When you run "net time" on your pc the net application on your pc connects to the timeservice on winserver. "net" is a multifunction application. Try "net use" on your pc. It'll give you a list of network shares you have mapped or otherwise connected. "net use \\ip\sharename" will attempt to connect to a network share named sharename on the machine at ip ipaddress.

If you do it as I suggest, the 400 will connect to your machine and run the "net" application to connect to the timeservice on \\winserver. Of course, you'll have to be running the service on your pc that accepts RUNRMTCMD from the i. This will synchronize the clock on your pc with the clock on \\winserver.

Client Access is not installed on the winserver. Thus, my belief that different protocols are being used when command comes from the i or a pc.

Sounds like you don't have the process running to remote commands.

I must be doing something wrong.

From my pc:

net time \\winserver
Current time at \\winserver is

From th i:
RUNRMTCMD CMD(' net time') RMTLOCNAME('\\winserver' *IP) either with my network login or without, I get the following:

CPE3425 "A remote host refused an attempted connect operation."

Seems like some different protocol is being used.

Also, I have tried it with and without the leading \\ characters.

My pc may be authenticating in the background. Thus no need for the user name and password. A guess. But, what can cause the CPE3425 error when attempting to communicate with the same server"?

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?
