How to run a remote Unix command from DVT Eclipse for Windows?
==============================================================

Presuming that you use ssh or telnet to connect to the unix environment you can use a putty tool to do this. The name of the command is `plink.exe <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html>`__ and it can be considered the analog of ssh for Windows.

You can use the plink.exe command with the **DVT Generic** Launch Configuration.

More information about how to use **plink.exe** can be found `here <http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.61/htmldoc/Chapter7.html#plink>`_. There is also a sub chapter about how to use plink unattended (it won't require any interaction like user or password input).
