[Wine] psexec from sysinternals - did anyone run it under wine?
psexec util (from sysinternals) is a tool which allows to execute commands on a remote Windows machine. A command like that: psexec.exe \\192.168.1.147 -u Administrator -p password C:\test.bat would run C:\test.bat as administrator on a Windows workstation with IP address 192.168.1.147. Quite cool, you don't have to install anything additional (like SSH server) on Windows, and you can execute remote commands. If you have a Samba server and administer Windows workstations, it can be really useful. I tried to run it with wine, but unfortunately, it doesn't work: $ psexec.exe \\192.168.1.147 -u Administrator -p password C:\test.bat PsExec v1.70 - Execute processes remotely Copyright (C) 2001-2006 Mark Russinovich Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com Starting PsExec service on local system...PsInfSvc -install to install the service PsInfSvc -remove to remove the service PsInfSvc -debug <params> to run as a console app for debugging StartServiceCtrlDispatcher being called.

On the other hand, when I googled, I found quite a few statements that psexec do work with wine. Anyone who had more success with that? -- Tomasz Chmielewski Software deployment with Samba http://wpkg.org
