Hi,

I would like to know if this is do-able from Windows:
have a Windows application, calls a shell command (either using
WinExec, ShellExecute or CreateProcess), that executes an
RSH command, capture the standard output of this command
put it into a file, in the LOCAL machine (the RSH executes
a program on the UNIX server).

I have tried using WinExec() to do this, the code looks like
this:
String strCmd = "rsh hosta -l usera -n ls > temp.txt";
WinExec(strCmd, SW_HIDE);

this file temp.txt ends up on the UNIX server!

Also, I couldn't get ShellExecute to do the same thing.  the
local machine is a W2K machine.  Is ShellExecute() recommended
over WinExec()?  I can use CreateProcess() to do it as well.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Jerri
