Do you mean that http://sourceforge.net/projects/nrpent/ ? It sounds good. I’ll try it sooner. I also just find a tool for the similar purpose, called psexec (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/bb897553.aspx). But I don’t try it yet.

I’d like to get more detail about your experience of the NRPE, or psexec maybe

Thans for your responses.

At the time of writing I was using XP SP2 I believe. These days I am using another method (NRPE) for executing programs remotely. This was primarily for the purpose of executing scripts and other programs to check the status or get output of various counters from running software or the operating system.

Try searching google for “allow service to interact with desktop” XP SP2

Somehow that rings a bell.

a good article. I followed the article, it can’t work. It can display if I call the windows program like notepad.exe in cygwin bash console. But if I call the windows program from ssh client, it popup a rectangle and nothing is in it.

I’m under winxp sp2 with cygwin1.7.

any idea?
