You're talking about an environment where the DBMS is on the same
Windows system as the system where the command is being executed.
A couple days ago a colleague suggested to me that it would
really be cool if we could start an MV process from anywhere on
the network.  Well, for about a year now mvExec has been
available as freeware for just that purpose.  It doesn't matter
if your MV environment is Unidata, Universe, or any other
platform, or which OS the DBMS is running on.  You can move data
to/from the DBMS, execute reports and return data to the local
file system or pass data as input to some other Windows process,
or move data amongst MV or non-MV environments.  Use it to send
or receive email, send/accept web service calls, update or query
relational databases, or import/export data with Excel or any
other tools.  See the RTF Readme document:

If you already have mv.NET then download and enjoy this utility
as you wish.  If you don't have mv.NET you can obtain it from any
reseller.
