As for executing a command - I presume you mean *on* the local PC - I believe both Accuterm or Wintegrate have this functionality. If you prefer a DIY approach, map a common drive between host & PC, write a batch file that executes your commands to a known location, and then execute it using psexec (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsExec.html). In fact, get the whole pstools toolkit while you're there - good stuff. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ralph Burton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 4:06 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] Open Excel and Import a file or execute a command from a > local PC > > Are there any utilities to pass as comma delimited file from > Unidata/Universe and have it open/imported into Excel? > > Any way to execute a command from a local PC workstation? > > Thanks, > > Ralph ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
