Dear All,

Kindly send me the procedure for the same.

Hi,
Difficult to answer like that, what tasks are you thinking of?
If the idea is using common shell script running on MS plateforms and Unix then have a look at:

I'd suggest to install the cygwin dll and tools from any mirror nearby

http://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.html

and rather use ssh (I think openssh gets installed by default, but better check what you download) to run remote commands on your HP-UX boxes.
If you distribute your account's (of the windows box) public dsa or rsa keys with a zero length passphrase you can even (relative safely, if you guard your private keys) run remote HP-UX commands without the need for a login password (read manpage of ssh-keygen for details)

Hi,

I agree with Ralph, take a look at ssh.
