- There are probably several ways to do it. The one that I use for
- starting communication servers on remote nodes in my broker office
- system runs something like this:
-
- --- Command file "SAMPLE.COM" on remote machine ---
-
- $ DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT SYS$NET:
- $ .
- $ .
- $ .
- $ EXIT
-
- ( This file must either exist in your default login directory,
- or have a logical name "SAMPLE" pointing to the DEV:[DIR]FILE.COM )
-
- --- Execute it with: ---
-
- $
- $ TYPE FOOBAR::"0=SAMPLE"
- $
-
- (This assumes proxy access to the remote node)
