Run PC Commands through Emulator
« on: October 26, 2007, 10:22:53 am »

We are a reseller for various products.  A new customer of ours is running your product called ICE TC/P+   They plan to upgrade soon to a product that allows them to run a report through the Unix SCO v 5.06 server that they currently have, convert the text information to a PDF file and then view this PDF through Adobe running on their Windows PC.  We currently sell another Emulation product that when this script is executed from Unix it accepts the Escape Sequences we are telling it  and runs the PC command for adobe.exe.  I downloaded your Trial Version of IceTen Pro and tried running my script through your Emulator, but it does not appear to accept the information I am sending.  My question now would be, is it possible to have your emulator understand Control sequences being sent to and have it execute a Windows Command? 

    I would be glad to setup a Genesys Web Conference to demonstrate  what currently happens with our Emulation Product and then to see if it is possible to have IceTen do it.

Thanking you in advance for any assistance

ICE.TEN and ICE.TCP PLUS are two totally different programs, one is serial and the other TCP/IP respectively.  Just to be on the safe side, please look in Help or About and advise the version information or emulation information that the particular customer is running.

I had their Hardware Tech to provide me with the information and he sent back Ice Ten TC/P+, but I will have the customer do this on Monday.  I am fully aware that TCP product and the serial product are different as we have sold the serial product before, however I know this customer has the TCP version on several of the PC's they have.

There is no "standard" syntax for this because the terminals emulated have no capability of doing this on their own. However we have added it (to the tcp/ip based products only).

It's disabled by default (because it can be dangerous)!
To enable it (at your own risk), add a registry value called RemoteCommandExecution of type string set to 1 under:

For Plus
HKCU->Software->Jriver->ICE.TCP->4.5
For Pro
HKCU->Software->Jriver->ICE.TCP->5.0
For Pro/Classic client
HKCU->Software->Jriver->ICE.TCP->4.4

The escape sequence to send is:

esc[2]notepad<CR>

Replace notepad with your command and the <CR> means a carriage return; hex 0D/dec 13.
