I meant that I need to know how psexec.exe operates....
So I downloaded it an did it myself.

We just need client routines for the svcctl pipe, I've got
the parsing code in trunk.  If I were going to create a client
tool I would just write a psexec client for linux.  Although
it might be easier to add a 'net rpc psexec' subcommand.

This is not a hard project i don't think.
