I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on running psexec.exe please?

I have tried all sorts to get the program to run correctly all have not worked i.e.

Code:
varPSExecVariable = "psexec \\computername C:\demo.exe"

#x::Run, C:\RemoteTools\psexec.exe %varPSExecVariable%, C:\RemoteTools\


And

Code:
#x::Run, %comspec% /k psexec.exe %varPSExecVariable%, C:\RemoteTools\


Just cannot seem to get the syntax right! Arghh

Any help would be very gratefully received...

Cheers

Code:
; no psexec in the variable
varPSExecVariable = \\computername C:\demo.exe
; or
; varPSExecVariable := "\\computername C:\demo.exe"

#x::Run, C:\RemoteTools\psexec.exe %varPSExecVariable%, C:\RemoteTools\

Thanks Tonne, that worked a treat once I had removed the quotes around the Var and the "psexec" from the Var...

Is there any way to close the CMD window, while leaving the EXE running please?

Cheers

Yes, try this:
Code:
; no psexec in the variable
varPSExecVariable = \\computername C:\demo.exe
; or
; varPSExecVariable := "\\computername C:\demo.exe"

#x::Run, %ComSpec% /c C:\RemoteTools\psexec.exe %varPSExecVariable%, C:\RemoteTools\,HIDE

Thanks very much Aaffe

That does not display the CMD window and the program launches correctly, however it is still visible as running in the Windows Task Manager.

If I kill the process in the TaskManager the EXE continues to run OK...

Should I try and use the WinKill or WinClose commands?

Cheers and sorry to be a pain :)

Also, try...

Code:
toolspath:="C:\RemoteTools"
PSExec_exe:="psexec"
PSExec_params="-d \\computername C:\demo.exe"
PSExec_cmd:=PSExec_exe " " PSExec_params

#x::Run, %toolspath%\%PSExec_cmd%, %toolspath%

...I like vars!...plus the -d means "detach"...

Thanks you very much Guest

That did the trick, marvelous! Just had to:

    1. Remove the speech marks around the PSExec_params variable - for some reason PSExec does not like those at all!
    2. Change the PSExec_exe variable to "psexec.exe"
I like vars as well, because they allow you to quickly change stuff if paths change...

Example:
Code:
toolspath:="C:\RemoteTools"
PSExec_exe:="psexec.exe"
PSExec_params=-d \\computername C:\demo.exe
PSExec_cmd:=PSExec_exe " " PSExec_params

#z::Run, %toolspath%\%PSExec_cmd%, %toolspath%


Many thanks to all that answered - you peeps are a great help for those that are struggling :)

Cheers
