Connecting to Unix and calling a Shell script

discovery-power 0 Junior Poster in Training · 2011-08-24T01:26:50+00:00

I wanted to connect to unix and call a shell script program from dot net application (windows application).
do i need to use MS Winsock control to connect to unix or is there any other best option?
Kindly let me know.
Thanks

Hi Chilume,

When I used Unix a few years back, I never thought you could use the .net framework to run a Unix shell script.

I will have a sniff round google and let you know what I find but like I say from my past experience, .net is Windows and Unix is Unix.

Thanks John,

one of my friend has created a DLL in VB6.0 to connect to Unix box and the same dll has been used in an ASP page, which is working fine. but when I used same logic it's giving time out error.
I hope I can winsock to connect and to call shell script. Any idea on this?
kindly let me know.

Chilume.

Hi Chilume,

Ok, I found this website, it looks like you can use winsock but you need to use a third party piece of software as well.

Hope this helps mate.
