I am trying to control a remote Python script, which reads commands from stdin, via psexec 1.98, but I need to redirect psexec's input since psexec itself will be launched from another program. However, I have no luck making psexec accept redirected input. Is it supposed to work at all?



An example of what I'm trying to do, where input is a file containing input to the remote script:



psexec \mymachine python c:script.py < input

  • I doubt the answer is yes. PSEXEC has to send the commands you instruct it to run to the remote computer before they are executed (otherwise the command would be incomplete and fail). So that makes me think it does so one time and there's no further interaction with the source computer such that input from later in the command pipeline isn't possible.

The issue is that it thinks that "...script.py" is the end of your command. If you put quotes around it



psexec \mymachine python "c:script.py < input"


Then you should be fine.



Additionally, you'll probably need to specify an absolute path to that input file.



Two examples:



psexec \mymachine python "c:script.py < \input_file_serverinput"
OR
psexec \mymachine python "c:script.py < c:input"


That should do it for you.

  • I don't think this method works? Putting the < operator inside quotes like this makes it part of the argument to Python. I tried it just to check, and in your second example Python thinks it's supposed to open the file "c:script.py < c:input".
