i am working on unix.
i want to write a shell script which will check for a file called “temp_file.txt” on windows
and then execute some commands.
is this possible?
how could we connect to the windows and go to a specific directory and check for a file?
you could set up SSH on Windows and then write a script on Unix using the SSH client to connect to Windows and execute the command. The alternative, if you can afford to, it to write a windows batch, and execute your command on Windows itself. Or you can turn on Windows terminal services, and use telnet protocol from Unix to issue the command. Programming languages that support telnet includes Perl (Net::Telnet) and Python(telnetlib)
