I would like to just send a TCP message to V-Control via the remote services. Does anyone know what syntax I need to use to send a scrRunTask command via PUTTY? I’ve tried the examples in the manual to no avail.

Regards,
Alex

The problem is that you need to send non ASCII characters if you want to use the remote service. Here is a description hoe to do this

It might be easier if you create a new device and have an event that fires if a command is received,

With this event you can fill a device variable, and if that variable changes, you can call a task

Maybe this works

Thank you Dierk. I will try the Event suggestion. Allow me to also say how impressed I am with the amount of robust features included in V-Control and your quick responses in this forum. Thanks again!
