samba - Jul 2000 - samba and net start

Hi,

I was wondering if samba provides a means to start a programme on an NT
server, specifically a service? This is equivalent to the 'net start'
command, but I wish to start a service from my Linux server.

Thanks

Rob

rpcclient will do this.  However, Ithink the svcctl functions 
are only implemrnted in the version in the SAMBA_TNG CVS 
branch.  I'm in the process of porting the code from TNG to 
the HEAD cvs branch, but it is a rather large process.

Contact me off line if you need more details.
