Author Is there anyway to execute remote application on remote host?

I would like to run a remote application on remote Windows XP host. Is
there any way to fulfill it?

There's not supposed to be--not in full generality. To be able to
execute on a "vanilla" remote Windows XP host is the opposite of
security.

With a slightly relaxed definition, though, there are plenty of
ways around this. Are you in a position to have the telnet service
running on the Windows XP host? Or Remote Access? Or a VNC server?
Or a service you create yourself?

In private e-mail, Mr. Lin elaborated, "I could control remote host
via Telnet session. But, beside this, is there any other method more
convenient for TCL?"

Mr. Lin, I'll send you a copy of my answer in e-mail, but please
reply (also) in the newsgroup, so others have the opportunity to
contribute.

In the situation I understand you have, you can
1. configure telnet as a service, and automate telnet; or
2. set up your own tiny Tcl application as a Windows
service <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/1795 > to receive
your remote requests.

We had a request for this a month or two ago.

I wrote an RPC system for TCL code. It's posted to the wiki:

http://wiki.tcl.tk/13886

It uses a safe interpreter to rubber-room your code.
