Hi there,

I think this should help you. I haven't used this myself, but read it somewhere in the net.

WinRSH32 is an amazing little freeware tool that will allow you to remote shell into a Unix server and pass it parameters. It allows you to completely control username, password, server, and the UNIX command(s) to send, as well as control the way it appears.

Help file for this download

Download WinRSH32

Usage:

Code:

    Dim  RunRSH
    set RunRSH = CreateObject("Winrsh32Runner.execute")
    RunRSH.Go  s_UnixServer, s_command, s_UnixLoginUserName, s_UnixLoginUserPassword, false
    set RunRSH = nothing

Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Yes, WScript.Shell related suggestions are appreciated, but AFAIK, you cannot run Unix shell commands, using that.

Cheers!
