Forgive me if this a stupid question and unrelated to Oracle but it pulls data from an Oracle database and i hope one of you scripting gurus can help me out ;-) It's on HP-UX 10.20.

I need to find a way within a script to handle a system generated prompt. I'm trying to use the REXEC command to run a batch script on an NT machine from UNIX. I've got the NT side set up with REXECD. When I run the REXEC command from the UNIX prompt, it prompts me for a password (for authentication on the NT machine I suppose). How do I script this process so I do not have to manually type in the password? Here's the command:

rexec nt_machine -l user e:\\top_dir\\ev00_07\\run\\batch_script.bat

after I run it, it prompts for a password; if I type the NT password in for the user, it works fine, so the syntax of the command is correct. I just want to automate this so I can schedule it instead of typing in the password manually.

I know I can use RSH instead and not worry about authentication, but the administrative overhead to get that implemented (security worries, etc) would carry me through to retirement age. I'm sure there is a simple way to do this, but I'm not seeing it. I try not to bother the list with questions if I can help it, but I'm stuck on this one and don't want to throw in the towel.

Thanks!
