Hello All,

I have a windows service on several remote machines that gather data and
load it to SQL 2000. The service on the remote machine runs at a desirable
frequency and gathers the data.

I'm using DTS on a central server to bring the data back. The DTS package
has it's own schedule and all works well.

But now I want to "on demand" runs the service on a particular machine to
collect up to the minute information. From the DTS package I’m planning to
use an Execute Process Task to restart the remote service so it. I know how
to start and stop a Windows service on a local machine but have not done it
remotely. Anybody ever done this before?

Thanks,

LP

LP,

Rsh or Rexec will execute commands locally on remote machines. Look them up
in the Windows help.
