Re: Network task

You could use RUNRMTCMD (which works via rexec) to send a command like
'cmd /c NET START some_service' to the pc. (If you don't want the
resulting spool file of whatever the command produces to stdout, just
add a '>NUL' to the end of the cmd string.)

Windows comes with a rexec client, but you'll have to start a server on
the target machine. One of which is the 'iSeries Access for Windows
Remote Command' service which comes with iSeries Access for Windows.

The intent was to use a fairly safe command to communicate a request to

a server. In this case, the net time command only requests the time
from the target >server. It only effects the requesting system clock if
the /SET parameter is used.

What I ultimately want to do is to stop and start a specific service on

a specific server. Perhaps that doesn' work, as I don't see a parameter
for the computer >name.
