Message-ID<33a44ace-33d1-493f-85cb-4f0a093368af@googlegroups.com>
Hi Guys, 

I have a requirement where i need to kill one process on remote windows machine. 
Following command just works fine if i have to kill process on local machine 

os.system('taskkill /f /im processName.exe')

However I am not able to figure out how to execute this command on remote windows machine. 

Note: my local machine is also windows (machine from where i have to execute command)

so is there any way i can execute command from windows machine on remote windows machine ?

You are looking for information on "Remote Procedure Calls", or RPC.

There are obvious security implementations from enabling RPC, imagine if 
random people on the internet could shut down whichever processes they 
like on your machine. But having said that, there are a number of 
excellent RPC libraries for Python. Here are two I have (briefly) used:

The simplest way is from your local machine. taskkill accepts a /s 
parameter which can specify a remote machine by IP or name.

Hi alex 

I tried the command you suggested however it is giving me following error. 

ERROR: The RPC server is unavailable.

	Which basically means that the remote machine has been secured -- by
having the RPC system disabled from access by other machines.

	Consider, os.system() can only perform commands you can execute from
Windows console (command) shell. So until you come up with a command you
can enter at a "DOS Prompt" and have it work, you can ignore doing it with
Python.

The taskkill command actually has an option for this: /S. I don't know
what mechanism it uses or what you would have to do to give yourself
permission to use it.

This is trivial. First install the VNC on the remote site and 
make sure your VNC is working in the proper forground.

Just write a mouse/keyboard emulator service on the remote site 
with the propper port opened by python scripts.

Use the control computer  to send commands  to the remote site.

This scheme will work under unix-linux-windows OS.
