Hello Everyone -

We are trying to perform an offline Oracle DB backup with BackupExec. I need to be able to stop and start services on a different server than the one containing the Backup Software. This requires the use of NT's "net commands", which work on the server you are executing them. I need to be able to issue the commands from a different server within a batch file to start and stop the services of the Oracle DB during the scheduled Offline backup from the BackupExec remote server.

Telnet is not an option, as I see this as a solution to executing Net commands remotely. This does not work within a batch file!


Any code is welcome!

NT 4.0 SP6a
Oracle8i
BackupExec 8.5
