Hi, all,
My application involves installation of different parts of the project in different computers on a local network. I want the administrator to check and/or start/stop different services on different PC's remotely using command line. I use C#. I don't know what technology to use. Should I use telnet/ssh or is use of WMI(System.Management Name Space) enough?.Or is there another method?. I don't want to use remote desktop or window's built-in telnet client. Nor do I want to use remote admin software like pcAnywhere. If it is possible to use both telnet/ssh and WMI, which one is better?.

You can use the SC[^] command to control services, somewhat similar to this;

sc \\MyComputerName stop "NameOfTheService"

yes you are right Eddy Vluggen. But i want to start/stop exe's, not registered services alone. also, I want to make the commands simple, for example, by giving list of numbers to choose and choosing the number runs something or brings another list of choices.

You can use the GetProcesses[^] method to generate a Proces class for all executables on the remote machine Smile | :)

Starting and stopping executables is done over the Process class, if you have the required permissions. Services can't be killed that way, hence the suggestion to use the SC.exe command.

That would enable you to start/stop executables and to start/stop services. If that's not what you want then I have misinterpreted the question.

Yes Exactly. I want console-application that shows a menu,but then do you mean I can use The Process class in the console application and that is enough?

Yup, should be enough to start or stop processes on another computer Smile | :)

That's not a standard component from the .NET framework; you'll have to search for a third-party library that offers a similar control or write your own.

I have done something similar, which was a borderless progress form with an animated gif, and a background worker on it. You just hook up to the DoWork and RunWorkerCompleted events as normal.

Having said that, although it worked fine in a small scale application, for a larger app I ended up writing my own threading code. Ideally the window should be modeless. But then you have to intercept all mouse and keyboard messages to ensure the end user cannot click elsewhere.

The window should be modal to prevent the user from making any action while it is processing... I tried to making a separate window with animated GIf and called it under another thread but it still doesnt work..
can you give me a sample how will i do it..

thanks in advance..

Could be a largish code chunk. I'll see if I can slim it down. The key though is that the window is launched on the main GUI thread, but performs it's work on a secondary thread.
