Tape and remote access

Hi,

One more question regarding tapes:
Is there any way to access the tape device from a remote NT or UNIX
machine?

Thank you.

Write a DCOM-based client-server app pair for this on NT.
MSVC IDE + ATL will simplify this development a lot.
UNIX will require some other solution, surely.

Hi Maxim,

Thank you for the answer, but the problem is that I don’t want to
implement client-server hierarchy.
On UNIX we have a simple solution of running a small application with rsh
on the remote machine
with the tape drive and reading/writing through pipes.
The same solution would perfectly do for NT as well, but, oops, no rsh
functionality similar to UNIX on
NT…
Are you familliar with some way of executing an application remotely on
NT machine (assuming you have
enough privileges).

Thank you,
Giga
