UNIX submit program execution to Windows server

[Dave Johnson_1]

I have been approached by the developers asking how they can create a program that will run on the Oracle Concurrent Manager on one of our HP-UX 11.11 servers and cause a program to execute on a Windows server.

A related question is how do we get a Microsoft SQL server to execute a SQL statement from the above mentioned UNIX box?

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Probably the most sraightforward approach is to install Microsoft SFU on your Windows box and then you are just a remsh away.

what program would you want to run on the windows box? As for the sql statement you could write a perl script that runs the sql statement on the mssql server.

you could also install cygwin on the windows box and setup the ssh service. then you could send commands via ssh.

My boss is a Windows guy so we have decided to go with the SFU solution.

Thank you for the input.
