System calls over network

[Gabriel Leblanc]

Hello,

I am wondering if there's an easy way to do a system call to a file
that resides on the network. Say for example I would like to call the
batch file which is located at

\\ComputerName\file.bat

I tried :
<open file '\\ComputerName\install.bat', mode 'r' at 0x007E7B20>

Of course, I replaced ComputerName and file.bat with the correct
paths.

Any idea ?

Thanks !

System calls, batch files, UNC paths and pipes are different things. What
exactly are you trying to acomplish? And on what platform?

Also, you should use raw strings to prevent the double backslash from
being escaped to a single backslash:

r"\\ComputerName\file.bat"

Windows "at" command, or soon.exe which you can download from the Microsoft
website. do a google search on those. I had the exact same question.
