run bat file on remote Windows from Linux by using cygwin

[Herbert Stocker]

Ah, this is something i can answer.

  - Innstall Cygwin on the windows machine and there, install the 
package 'openssh'.

  - Howtos like this help me to configure the ssh server: 
http://www.noah.org/ssh/cygwin-sshd.html
     (It comes down to running the command ssh-host-config -y  .)

  - Then you can use ssh from the linux box to execute commands on the 
windows box or
    to transfer files or to log-in remotely.

Some Tips:
Maybe you will be happy to learn that with Cygwin you are not limitted 
to bat "scripts",
but have the full power of bash or other shells available on Windows.

Depending on what you want to do, you may notice that processes running 
via sshd will
not have every resource available that a process running from a 
GUI-logged in user has.
In my case it was the mapped network drives that could not be seen. I 
could solved this
by using the 'screen' tool (starting a screen session from a GUI session 
(RDP) and then
connecting to this via ssh). Other means of Windows may be better tools, 
e.g. the net
command contained in Windows.
