Hi everyone!

Is it possible to use VB.NET to run a command or a script on a UNIX server
and get back the results? For example, I'd like to have my VB program
connect to my UNIX server, run an LS command and retrieve the output (and be
able to manipulate the data) from that command.

Thanks!

If you're able to telnet to the UNIX host you could probably do this using
sockets.
