Notes on RemoteWare Execution Server

RemoteWare Execution Server allows you to run processes on any networked NT or Win2K Computer.

To successfully install the execution server the following files are required:
\SYSTEM\EXE_SERV.EXE
\SYSTEM\RWSNLS.DLL
\SYSTEM\QUEUES.DLL
\SYSTEM\OS2MAP.DLL
\WINNT\SYSTEM32\MSVCRT40.DLL

Copy the above files to a directory on the desired NT/Win2K machine.

By default the maximum number of processes that can execute at one time is set to 2. The queue name is set to /queues/exe_serv.que and the pipe name is set to \\.\pipe\exe_serv.pip.

Command Line Options to Change Settings
Option	Desc	Explanation	Example
-P	# of Processes	Sets the number of concurrent processes	-P4
-PN	Pipe Name	Changes the pipe name	-PN \\<MachineName>\pipe<name of pipe>
-QN	Queue Name	Changes the queue name	-QN /queues/<name of que>

Once you get Exe_serv working the way you want then use Srvany and Instsrv from Microsoft to make it run as a service. Then use Notify events in Work Objects to start the processes. Caution: Processes running under the system ID may not have access to network resources.
