Hi,
i am trying to invoke another application (putty.exe) from my c program (OS-Windows XP) I am using TC++ complier..
Problems:
1. how can i pipe putty.exe from my program
2. any link on the internet or any book that explains the functions in process.h header file in detail..
One more thing.. can any one tell me which is the best comiler to use if i am using windows xp os and want to do network/socket and pipe programming ... i feel TC++ does not support most of what i want to do
Thanks.
What are ACTUALLY trying to achieve?
Perhaps something like this will work:
putty mymachine|myapp
or
myapp|putty mymachine
?

Ok... I am writing a program which can actually invoke a shell script remotly in Unix servers.
Problems:
1. I have around 14 unix servers and the details(IP,Login credentials) of these servers are present in a CSV file
2. I used to manually login to these servers using putty (as the protocol is ssh and not telnet) and start the shell scripts. Now i am trying to write a program which can automate this task.
3. I have written batch files to do this but error handling (such as wrong passwords... ) becomes a problem with batch files.
My approach:
1. Write a program that can talk to putty.exe/plink and get the task done.
In order to achieve this, I need to use pipes and I have problems doing this with TC++.
or am I expecting too much from C ???
Better compiler choices.

You'll also need the platform SDK which it talks about (and links to).
You certainly don't want that old DOS-based compiler from yester-year.
Thanks Salem !.. i will look into it and get back...
Do these things run regularly? Any reason you can't just use cron?Quote:

EDIT: By the way, Putty can ALREADY do what you want (launch a command on a remote host automatically). I'm not going to say how. Read the documentation.
1.These scripts (Running on Unix box) are used to monitor server satistics during a load test (started before the start of load test and killed when done).
Unfortunately, these load tests are not scheduled.
2.They just collects cpu and memory utilization values and puts them in a csv, which are later retrieved and graphs are generated.
3. Load tests are started from windows machines and servers to be monitored are Unix.
Can't this be done in batch-script?

Yes.. it can be but..
1. Error handling part such as wrong passwords.. etc will be a problem.. In case the password has expired, the batch file just ignores and moves to the next server..
