rexec task failed with error "can't connect to..."
Hi,
When I run rexec task it fails with the error "can't connect to <Server
field value>".
I run it in the following way:
<rexec userid="<myUser>" password="<myPassword>" server="<my local machine
ip>" command="cmd"/>
I also tried to run the task on other machines but it failed with the same
error.
My machine is windows 2008. The final goal is to run the task from linux
machine on a windows machine.
Any idea why it fails?
Is there another command I can use instead?
thanks,
Anat

You need to have and rexec service installed on your windows machine in order for this to work.
There are a few available for windows, cygwin has one, and there is one here (untested by me) http://sourceforge.net/projects/rshd/
An alternative is to use sshexec, this are requires a ssh service (daemon) on windows, however there a plenty to choose from.
On a side note, rexec is very insecure, all the cmd info is sent in plain text, including user name and password.
Hope this helps,
