Re: WMI call to run a remote application

To execute a shell statement on the server side use http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php. That way you keep Web things in PHP and Shell Script things in a more appriate language like cscript (vbs) or batch files. Even though PHP *can do it*, it doesn't mean it's the best language for doing it.
