Sending commands from Ubuntu to Windows

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 7045 / 1 Year ago, thu, february 9, 2023, 3:19:41

On our home network we have one Windows 7 only PC and several computers with Ubuntu 13.04 (dual boot with backup Windows 7 for programs that can't be run using wine).

We want to be able to send commands (like msg or shutdown etc.) to that Windows PC (and if possible we want that Windows 7 PC to be able to send commands to the Linux PCs).

How do I do this?

You reminded me about winexe:

Download the tarball from the project page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/winexe/

wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/winexe/winexe-1.00.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fwinexe%2F&ts=1377024055&use_mirror=hivelocity"

_{I'm using a hot link for illustrative propose.}

Untar the file:
```
tar zxf winexe*.tar.gz

cd winexe*
```

Configure it:
```
./autogen.sh

./configure
```

Make it:
```
make
```

Then you can either install it, or running it with ./winexe:

./winexe  -U "Administrator" //some-pc 'shutdown.exe'

It follows the same syntax as psexec Microsoft tool.
