From SUSE Linux 10.1 to a MS OS Running Kermit 3.16 via copSSH on Windows XP or older Windows connected serial devices
Hello, Here is the problem |---------------| |---------------| | | | | | | | | | SUSE 10.1 |<-------internet------>| MS Machine | | | | | | | | | | | | | |---------------| |---------------| | | Kermit | |---------------| | | | | | Cash Registers| | | | | |---------------| I have SUSE Linux 10.1 and I am able to ssh and scp to the machines. I need to automate getting all the files from the MS machines to a remote site to process them. But I can not seem to remember how I used to run via ssh kermit remotely. The machines with some version of MS Windows, most have Windows XP. I use kermit to talk with their store registers. The machines have a purchased copy of MS Kermit 3.16. My mskermit.ini file on these machines has set port 1 set baud 9600 PAUSE 2 REMOTE LOGIN RAIS PAUSE 2 GET datafile PAUSE 2 GET datafile1 ... EXIT till I have all the files. I thought I could use kermit via ssh to talk to the machines and directly transfer the files. Did not work. I then setup cygwin and copSSH. I am able to ssh to the machines and then I use scp to copy a mskermit.ini with the commands I need it to run. I then am able to ssh -luser 192.168.0.200 cd /directory/files ./kermit ... scp -p file user@192.168.0.125:/work/directory/save/files/ or scp -p user@192.168.0.125:/directory/files /directory/to/save/files/ and all the files are downloaded. So I am able to scp to/form machine or I am able to scp to/from remote ms box to linux box. But I am not able to get my scripts to remotely run kermit on the ms box to download files from the cash registers to the ms box so I can then scp the files.

The only step I have been uable to get working is to run kermit remotely and get the files to the MS machine. Any ideas.

I guess you don't get a proper environment for kermit, viz. current working directory etc. I should try 1) launching kermit from a .bat or .cmd file 2) Invoke the command file in ssh via cmd /c e.g. ssh -luser 192.168.0.200 'cmd /c c:/kermit/backoffice/mykermit.cmd' In mykermit.cmd you can then ensure CWD, PATH etc are all correct before launching kermit itself. /Lennart tisdag 17 oktober 2006 22:58 skrev Boyd Lynn Gerber:

I have SUSE Linux 10.1 and I am able to ssh and scp to the machines. I need to automate getting all the files from the MS machines to a remote site to process them. But I can not seem to remember how I used to run via ssh kermit remotely. The machines with some version of MS Windows, most have Windows XP. I use kermit to talk with their store registers. The machines have a purchased copy of MS Kermit 3.16.
My mskermit.ini file on these machines has set port 1 set baud 9600 PAUSE 2 REMOTE LOGIN RAIS PAUSE 2 GET datafile PAUSE 2 GET datafile1 ... EXIT
till I have all the files.
I thought I could use kermit via ssh to talk to the machines and directly transfer the files. Did not work. I then setup cygwin and copSSH. I am able to ssh to the machines and then I use scp to copy a mskermit.ini with the commands I need it to run. I then am able to
ssh -luser 192.168.0.200 cd /directory/files ./kermit ... scp -p file user@192.168.0.125:/work/directory/save/files/ or scp -p user@192.168.0.125:/directory/files /directory/to/save/files/
and all the files are downloaded.
So I am able to scp to/form machine or I am able to scp to/from remote ms box to linux box. But I am not able to get my scripts to remotely run kermit on the ms box to download files from the cash registers to the ms box so I can then scp the files.

There has to be a way to automate via ssh and run the kermit on the MS Windows machines and then scp the files.

Thanks, I had not tried the /c, sadly it gives me the same below. I tried variations like c:/windows/system32/cmd ... There has to be a way to execute this. Thanks,
