Unix systems already come with a plethora of services that can be consumed via network. There really is no need to write something of your own unless you are after something quite exotic. The problem is more on the windows side trying to find a suitable library that will enable you to communicate with the unix system.

Without knowing anything specific about your problem it won't be easy to guess for a solution. Based on that i gave a generic one. If what you want to do would work using SSH and a terminal, then i suggest looking for ways to establish an SSH connection (Google is your friend) with the linux machine and sending the command, there's a great tool, Putty[^] whose source code is available for download, maybe checking into it could reveal some usefull things.

Have you heard about Secure Shell[^] yet? What about Telnet[^]? Doesn't that ring any bells?

Also here on CP dwell many genious people. Need proof?

How's that for starters: sharpSsh - A Secure Shell (SSH) library for .NET[^]. And just to make sure this wasn't a spurious hit I ask you to consider this tidbit as well: Quick tool : A minimalistic Telnet library[^].

Enjoy!
