I have 2 computers. One runs a database and WinCron.net. We'll call that the 'server'. The other machine runs an application I have developed. I would like to make that app capable of telling WinCron.net to execute one of it's tasks at an unscheduled time. Like typing in 'run task' in an ssh client.

What would you suggest as a way to do this? Is it even possible?

Thanks,
Scott

If you’re programmer, you could write a very small telnet client as part of your application that connects to server:port, logs in, sends the Run Task command, and logs out. For robustness sake you would probably want to read/log the strings returned from WinCron running on the server to help you debug the process.
