Guest Ted Wagner Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I need some help here folks. Google and microsoft support searches are coming up empty. I'm trying to set up a Windows telnet server for some data operations. The objective is to allow remote authentication through telnet, start a background process using 'bgjob' to process data and then log off the telnet session (thus leaving the background process to complete). The application of this is in a mix environment with a mainframe system. The programs on the mainframe system would kick off the telnet command set to start the job on the Windows 2003 server. I have a Windows 2003 R2 (fully patched) system. I've installed SUA from the Add/Remove/Windows Components. I've enabled telnet. I've got it set up, and working, with a local user with rights to telnet. I can telnet in as that user. I can telnet in as the local admin on the server, I can telnet in as me. No problem. What I CANNOT do is run bgjob. After some head scratching, I've found that there is a man page for bgjob...but there's no binary. How is this installed? Is this common file no longer included in SUA? Do I need to uninstall SUA, download SFA 3.5 and install it instead??? Thank you Ted

Guest Ted Wagner Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Re: Windows 2003 Telnet Server / bgjob.exe Thank you for your assistance. I did install SFU. I now see where I can administer telnet and I also see where I can change the server setting to allow jobs to run after a telnet session closes. However, I still cannot find the bgjob binary file. How is it installed?

Guest Ted Wagner Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Re: Windows 2003 Telnet Server / bgjob.exe I found that binary in the directory structure of the installation package...so I copied it manually to %SFUDIR%\Common\ and I'm fine.
