I am a new user to KixTart. I'm not sure if this is the right scripting language to accomplish what I need, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

I have a program that needs to be run on a daily basis that's located on my server. There is no specific time that it needs to run - it is dependent on one of my users entering data. The user can execute the program on their desktop, but it takes forever to process. The server is much more powerful, so I've located a batch file on there to do what I need. The issue is that I don't want my user logging directly on to my server. Is there a way using KixTart to execute a command on a server from a workstation? If not in KixTart, what would you recommend?

Thanks,
Larry

You could for example use the ScheduleTask() UDF to schedule a task running that batch file or application on the server. Alternatively, one could use RCMD or PSEXEC to execute remote commands.

Please... it's KiXtart, not KixTart!
