I built some scripts to help keep our Unix and NT environments in sync and it Perl scripts that generate a stream of "net ..." commands. Currently I then have to run a command window on the pdc/bdc, copy the file from the Unix to the NT (or use the share), then execute the "bat" file. If there was a way to run them from the Unix environment that would save me much time since I could automate the whole thing. Anyone know if I missed something in Samba that would allow this?? -- -ken cameron, CCP. Employer: Computer Task Group. SkyDiver: Zoo-602, A-8596, D-11839. Skier: down & cross. English Hunter Rider.
