Oh, and obviously you'd have to install the service to run as a user that did have sufficient rights to do what you wanted. BTW, what do you want to do? -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President & CEO Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

Leverich Sent: Monday, 14 March, 2005 14:41 To: PC Technical Discussion for iSeries Users Subject: RE: [PCTECH] Messaging to a Service So if I understand you correctly, this would be a local user clicking on a icon and running a local series of commands, with the problem being that the local user doesn't have the rights they need. Before we go overboard, let's ask the two simple questions, 1) can they be granted the access the need? or 2) if they're on XP boxes would RunAs do what you needed? Assuming you need to write something, sockets are obviously the "universal" interface, and aren't that hard to code to in .NET (you are using .NET for new development, aren't you? <G>) But if you're looking for something else, what about MSMQ, Microsoft's MQ technology. It supports local queues, so you'd create a service (also easy in .NET) and have that service create a queue (if it didn't already exist) then simply sit on a Receive() call. Your "client" code would Send() a message with the needed data to the queue and the service would wake up and do it's thing then go back to a Receive() wait (sound familiar -- a'la data queues) -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President & CEO Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

I want to have a Windows service execute a command file based on a message passed to the service. Rexec will still be used (rexec from the iSeries to a thin client) for other applications, but these new applications would be 'clickable' by the unwashed user from Start->Programs. The problem is that the user profile on the thin client is so locked down that they don't have the authority (I believe) to execute the programs I want them to execute. I can't change the user profile, so I thought I could create a service that would run under a different user id, and the service would be able to execute the commands. I'm using MQ to communicate between fat clients and the iSeries, but these thin clients don't have enough space to store the MQ code I don't think. I'm looking for a small footprint, light weight mechanism to talk to a service. - Michael > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: RE: [PCTECH] Messaging to a Service > From: "Walden H.
