Run UNIX make script from NT

[Graham Van der vaart]

Hi,
We have developers who work on NT and need to have source code ftp'd to a UNIX server, compiled and the log file ftp'd back to the NT server.(They are not setup on the UNIX box as users)
My senior does not want to use rsh. Is there a rcmd (for example) that works from NT to UNIX
kicked off from a users desktop.
Can I somehow make CScript.exe run against a
UNIX host? Any other ideas?
Or should they telnet to the UNIX machine as a generic user and execute a script to do it?
Regards
Graham

Hi Graham,

just a thought....

in Win NT ressource kit there is the possibility to install POSIX shell scripts for Windows for no extra money. Then you can run these shell scripts on your Windows computers.

Allways stay on the bright side of life!

Graham,

Your Senior doesn't want to use "rsh", but you must be using either a generic login for FTP or Anonymous FTP. Both of which are greater security issues than rsh, unless you allow anonymous users through a generic account to rsh.

I'd suggest setting up accounts for every single developer! In this day and age we need to be concerned about security, and if we are using generic or anonymous logins, then how the hell do we figure out who did what?

HI,

if you don't want to have something like rsh i would use:

-set up a cronjob on HP-UX which checks for new sources and runs make against them.

or

-set up a user which gets a menu upon logon to run make against a specified source.

In both cases there is no need to install any extra software on your PC's. Which might be what your senior wants.

Hope this helps
