Contents |
Description
Because several conversion programs depend on Windows-only vendor libraries from different manufacture, this software will enable you converting your raw files in you local machine without logging in to remote window machine.
Requirements
The following is a list of software need to be installed in window machine before you can convert each type of the raw file.
How to use it
Suppose the remote window machine is named R machine. The local linux machine is named L machine.
mkdir C:\convert Download converter executable and save into C:\convert
Download RemoteConvertServer.pl and lib dir, and save into C:\convert
Download 7-zip, unzip and save it into C:\convert\7-zip
cd C:\convert
perl RemoteConvertServer.pl
Download remoteconvert.pl and save into some dir.
./ remoteconvert.pl : show some examples command to run the software.
./ remoteconvert.pl –showoptions: show all options available for each converter
Install RemoteConvert as service
The service will stop if the user session is time out or the window machine is restarted. I complied the perl code into a executable using triall version of perl2exe, and installed it as service on a window 2000 and a window server 2003 sucessfully, thus the service will keep running without user log in and restart by itself after the computer restarts.
Instructions on install user defined service:
Use perl2exe or other software to convert the perl program (server side) to exectuable. Suppose your perl executable is located in C:\convert 1.Download and install resource kit tool from Microsoft website according to which version of window machine you have. Window server 2003: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en Window 2000: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3e89879d-6c0b-4f92-96c4-1016c187d429 Alternatively if you can get INSTSRV.EXE and SRVANY.EXE somewhere, you don’t need to install the whole resource kit. Suppose these two executable is located in “C:\reskit” 2.At a MS-DOS command prompt(running CMD.EXE), type the following command: C:\reskit\INSTSRV.EXE RemoteConvert C:\reskit\SRVANY.EXE 3.Run Registry Editor (start|run|regedit) and locate the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteConvert a.
