I have successfully created a batch file to connect to a remote Unix
computer using Plink from a windows PC.
Once connected I want the batch file to send some commands to the
remote computer to change the directory and to start analysis on a
certain file.

The batch file I am using is as follows:
__________________________________
     cd C:\Plink
     plink username@computer.com -pw mypassword

__________________________________

This connects fine, and I can then type my commands by hand into the
CMD window ...

     cd dirname ... change the Dir
     abq641 job=jobname input=jobname... run the analysis

all works fine. However I am trying to get the batch file to execute
these commands for me, but I cannot get it to work. I have tried the
following

__________________________________
     cd C:\Plink
     plink username@computer.com -pw mypassword
     cd scratch
     abq641 job=jobname input=jobname
__________________________________

but this does not execute the commands, it logs in fine and then stop
after the second line.

I have also tried
__________________________________
     cd C:\Plink
     plink username@computer.com -pw mypassword -batch cd scratch
     abq641 job=jobname input=jobname
__________________________________

but this does not even log in... it just closes the CMD window.

All works fine if I type the command in by hand, but I cannot get the
batch file to do it for me!! Please can any one offer me any help or
advice in this matter.

Regards

Nigel
