RE: Any experience with RUNRMTCMD?

Make sure the service job is started "iSeries Access for windows remote
Command". Also under the properties/Log on tab, check "allow service to
interact with desktop"

What user/id and password are you using? Is it a valid userid/password for
the pc you are issueing the runrmtcmd agaist?

Subject: Any experience with RUNRMTCMD?

Anybody have experience with using the RUNRMTCMD command?

I'm trying to start the Adobe Acrobat Reader, and have it open a specific
pdf file stored in an IFS directory, but I keep getting the same results.
It waits about 1 minute before doing anything and then returns CPE3425 (A
remote host refused an attempted connect operation).

Now, I know the RMTLOCNAME is supposed to have the IP address of the PC I'm
trying to communicate with. So, I have included in my program the use of
the system API (QDCRDEVD) which returns the IP address of the device with
which I am communicating. I've tried the simplest of commands with the same
results.

Here's the latest attempt...
RUNRMTCMD CMD('notepad.exe') RMTLOCNAME('192.168.1.218' *IP)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Best Regards,

Thomas Garvey
