- Bruce,
-
- If you open a DECnet connection to the other machine, with a "filename"
- specifying an appropriate command file name, you can start up a process
- using the DECnet TASK object.
-
- The hour is rather late, so I will simply refer you to the VMS Networking
- Manual for the details at this instant.
-
- I hope that the above is useful. If I can be of further assistance, please
- feel free to contact me via Email or phone.
