Hi
This is for Russ.
Can you provide a separate download link for winplumb.exe?

this is basically what rob posted in november,
except that it works with windows instead of vnc.
# urls to internet explorer on another machine
type is text
data matches '(https?|ftp|file|gopher|mailto|news|nntp|telnet|wais|prospero)://[a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+([.:][a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+)*/?[a-zA-Z0-9_?,%#~&/\-+=]+([:.][a-zA-Z0-9_?,%#~&/\-+=]+)*'
plumb to web
plumb start winstart iexplore -new $0
you run /sys/src/cmd/unix/winplumb.exe on the
windows machine, and that causes it to listen for
commands to run on port 17890. you can specify
a particular ip address for listening, to try to keep
the amount of possible damage down. for example,
i run
winplumb tcp!192.168.233.1!17890
so that it only listens on the vmware interface
(rather than taking commands from the whole internet).
this is really meant to run on a trusted network.
if you're directly on the internet, you have been warned.
then i have a shell script
g% cat /bin/winstart
#!/bin/rc
echo $* | aux/trampoline tcp!192.168.233.1!17890
g%
that sends a command to execute. you could use
your browser of choice of course, and you could
also use it to start programs other than web browsers.
