Launch PC browser from HP script

Melanie Battson — Tue, 19 Nov 2002 16:09:39 GMT

From 11.0 HP server, one of our programmers (VB/Cobol) wants to trigger a browser window to open on the user's PC (IE Explorer 5.5 or 6.0). The program would be a ksh script, preferably.
Anyone attempted this?? I hacked around for a bit, and thought I'd pose the question!
TIA!

It depends on the communication software used from the PC to the HP Server.

Their are many terminal emulators that have the feature where the host can send a command back to the terminal emulator (running on the PC) and command it to launch what ever PC application.

Ah ha! Hadn't thought of that-we use Reflections, version 9-

The fog is lifting-thanks!
