There's not need for an SSH server on the Windows box. You only need the client, as the login is going from Windows to Linux. To execute a script instead of xterm, just run the script instead! :) In your command above, forget the "DISPLAY" stuff and put whatever the name of the command you want to run inside "command". In most cases, a simple "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command" would suffice. Once you have the ssh keys set up, you don't even need a password. Once that is done and working, if you want to run it automatically, look into "cron". -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
