Tom, Sorry if I am not able to explain it. What I want to provide is a page with some machine Id's. So once somebody clicks the hyperlinks , it should remote desktop instead of telnet.
Is it not possible ? The current script is triggering a telnet session.The same way it cannot do that ??? Just clarifying.. ~Alok -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Phoenix Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 9:15 PM To: Nath, Alok (STSD) Cc: beginners@perl.org Subject: Re: Want to start remote desktop thru the CGI script On 7/4/06, Nath, Alok (STSD) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What I want is when I click the hyperlink it should run the command > 'mstsc IP Address'(instead of telnet) so that I can remote > desktop to that machine. So, you want to run a program on the computer at the browser's end of the connection, not the server's? Browsers shouldn't be able to run arbitrary external programs without manual intervention, so when I want to run a program at the browser's end of the connection, I ask somebody at that end of the connection to run the program.
