What version of Unix/Linux are you using or is it on a windows machine?

As SQL Server only runs on Windows, are you trying to run a Unix script on Windows, or do you need to log into a Unix server then run the Unix script?

The stored procedure itself will run on a Windows 2003 Server (SQL 2005). The script should connect to a Solaris 10 (UNIX) box to execute some commands.

Sure, you should (1) install some windows port of rsh/ssh on win2003 system, and (2) make arrangements for the non-interactive login (e.g., non-password protected ssh private key on win2003 system, or some rhosts assignments on the solaris system - of course, the environment should be secure enough). My advice would be to go with ssh - not because of encryption and security, unattended login should create security hole anyway, but because of ease of setup: rsh is a protocol quite tricky for firewalls. BR and good luck, Petko
