rsh

Is there a free implementation of rsh for windows xp anywhere? I need to be able to run a script on windows and I don't want the users to have to telnet (it scares them!)

Thanks

Re: rsh

Have you considered Microsoft's Services for UNIX (SFU)? It's a free download and includes a remote shell service which should do just what you want.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: rsh

Try Cygwin -- http://www.cygwin.com/

Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel.
