output from commands

[kamal_15]

hi all

i have ph-ux version 10.20

when i xecute a command like ll (as example).

i can redirect the output to file as :
******
ll>f1
******

is there any way to redirect this output to
another PC(running Windows).

to be more clear.

i can write script that and make it run every 1 houre.

i want to receive the output from this script in my PC(Windows).

is there any way to do that?

thank you

Hi,

There is no simple command to do this but
I think that you can for example do:
1. If yoy have configured mail system you can
send output via mail
ll | mail adres@a.b.c
2. You can redirect command output to file and every hour copy by runnning rcp or scp or ftp from PC.

There are many but diffrent options ..

01. Use sendmail to send it across as an email . So that u can recieve it an windows.
02. Install samba server so that you can map one directory from unix server on ur windows box. write the log onto this directory ..

Regds,

I mean if i want to make application
inteact with windows client / server.

cliet (Windows)send request
server (HP-UX) response

i have a good knowledge with programming languages.

[KapilRaj]

Why don't you write a program that willl listen on the unix server to a request that is coming from windows ...

i can do it with visual basic on windows
but i don't know how on unix

can u tell me from where i start?

I believe the best solution for you would be emailing
the script output as suggested by someone else.
Another easy solution would be to enable ftp server
on the PC and have the script in HP-UX box
automatically ftp this to PC.

If you want to take this oppertunity to learn network
programming on Unix, then you should be looking at
the "UNIX Network Programming" by W Richard
Stevens. The following URL has a link to the source
code of all the example in the book that you can
reuse.

i already made ftp partition on my pc

and now i can send files from unix to my PC.

when i try to write script as :

****************************

[KapilRaj]

ftp -n << END

realy
that is i want
many thankx


but can you explain the meaning of <
and i write the script as :
***********************
ftp -n << END
open IP_address
user user passwd
put f1
bye
***********************
and run ok
why you use prompt off? (or that was explain to me)?

thank you

HI Kamal.
This script must be

***********************
ftp -n << END
open IP_address
user user passwd
put f1
bye
END
***********************
END is mark point. It likes "begin" and "end" in VB. It is used for identify where is first ftp command and last ftp command.
NOTE: Using ftp is smarter than mail. but you must install FTP server on PC (recommand IIS).

By default ftp started in interactive mode.
For example.
ftp> mput *
mput 51434s.pdf?
If you want your script auto pass this step you must set
ftp>prompt off
NOTE: IF YOU PUT OR GET BINARY FILE YOU MUST SET FTP TRANFER IN BINARY MODE BY TYPING:
ftp>bin
so that full script are:
#############################
ftp -n << END
open IP_address
user user passwd
prompt off
bin
put f1
bye
END
