NT to UNIX Application

[fdsouth]

I have written 2 applications that I need some help with. One was written using ANSI C and compiled on an SGI UNIX Workstation. The other was written in MS VC++ and compiled for use on an NT network. Here's my question:

I need the NT application to make a call through the network and execute the UNIX application. We have NFS mounted the UNIX workstation to the NT network, but I'm not sure how to execute the call. I am new at cross-platform programming so I don't know what is required.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - especially code examples

What about "server" application rem_sh.sh, running on Unix side and waiting for my_prog.sh with commands to execute:

NT side:
--------------------------- rem_sh.cpp
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
system(&quot;ftp -s:rem_sh.ftp unix_host.my_domain.com&quot;

return(0);
}
---------------------------

--------------------------- rem_sh.ftp
my_user
my_password
asc
put my_prog.sh
bye
---------------------------

--------- my_prog.sh - commands you need to execute on unix
my_prog
---------------------------

Unix side:
--------------------------- rem_sh.sh
while true; do
if test -a my_prog.sh; then
chmod 777 my_prog.sh
my_prog.sh
rm my_prog.sh -f
fi
done
---------------------------

correction:
add &quot;sleep 1&quot; to rem_sh.sh before &quot;fi&quot;
