Uten thanks for the link to psexec! With some experimentation it works by telnet/ssh to the local machine (using system switch):- telnet <ip_addr> psexec -i -s c:\temp\test.exe exodius/autoguy100 we are playing with MSN IM interactively using the following simple script:- Run("C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr") WinWaitActive("Windows Live Messenger 8.0 BETA") Send("!S") ; Check that login successful and close info window ;WinWaitActive("Today") ;WinClose("Today") ; Switch back to messenger and send IM WinWaitActive("Windows Live Messenger 8.0 BETA", "msn") Send("<user>") sleep (2000) Send("{ENTER}") WinWaitActive("<user>@hotmail.com - Conversation") sleep (5000) Send("Hello {ENTER}") ; Close chat window WinWaitActive("<user>@hotmail.com - Conversation") Send("!F") Send("C") ; Close IM session and logout WinWaitActive("Windows Live Messenger 8.0 BETA", "msn") Send("!F") Send("n") WinClose("Windows Live Messenger 8.0 BETA") Again a big thanks to everyone who replied!!

Thanks ChrisL and Coffee for your quick replies! The problem here is that our *very* simple script is executing in command line mode but we are trying to invoke interactive windows programs. VNC can't be used as we need a command line interface (hook for our larger automation infrastructure). I realize this is more of a windows question but is there any way to accomplish this? Thanks again, Chris

Is there any method of remote command line execution of a compiled AutoIt script? Run() works okay but send() and other functionality dies. We need command line execution as this is interfacing with existing automation infrastructure. Thanks in advance, Chris
