Sending log info to remote machines 2004-03-24 - By kim aldis

Yeah, pstools are real nice. Psexec, I think it is, the one that runs
commands on remote machines requires that the commands you run be in the
windows system dir. A nice workaround for this is to copy a bat file into
the system folder on the remote machine, execute it then remove it, for
which a bat file works well:-
Copy batcommand.bat \\remote\c$\system32
Psexec \\remote batcommand.bat
Del \\remote\c$\system32\batcommand.bat
Rshd is actually very easy to set up and much better as a long-term
solution. If you're doing a lot of stuff like this I strongly recommend you
look at Cygwin, the Unix-alike for windoze. I run a tcsh prompt here and it
works well enough that I can work in a unix-like way but still do stuff like
call xsi and photoshop from the command line, a whole lot easier than
messing with menus and stuff.
