Re: Missing shutdown.exe in win2k3 R2 Datacentre Guest under ssh

Try running cmd.exe (both under SSH and directly) and try running shutdown.exe there.
If that works, the problem is probably somewhere in the Cygwin configuration, so it might help to try an SSH server that doesn't use Cygwin.
(We're currently considering the option of writing our own simple remote command shell server because we've had various problems with Cygwin and other SSH servers.)

Note that it's possible to test guests without shutdown.exe in KVM-Autotest -- Win2000 doesn't have shutdown.exe so we don't run the reboot test on it. But obviously it's much better to have it.

It does not work. I think there is something wrong with the environment.

So not sure if that is the issue with Cygwin. May be windows security
be the reason here?

What is the update on it. I would love to test one if any.

Missing shutdown.exe in win2k3 R2 Datacentre Guest under ssh

[sudhir kumar]

Hi,
I recently installed a Windows 2003 R2 datacentre 64 bit guest under
kvm. I installed copssh as the ssh server in the guest. When I logged
into the guest using ssh I found that the shutdown command does not
exist. I opened the command line and saw that the shutdown.exe file
exist under C:\WINDOWS/system32 and I can shutdown the guest from
command line. However this path is not mounted under cygwin but I can
not find the shutdown.exe under /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32.

Administrator@ibm-gl4gty5dclb /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32
$ ls shutdown.exe
ls: cannot access shutdown.exe: No such file or directory


Any idea why the file is not visible? This makes the use of
kvm-autotest impossible for testing this guest. To add to that win2k3
datacentre does not have a telnet-server installed by default and
hence I opted for installing ssh server and use it. This problem I did
not notice with the 2008 datacentre and others.
So is there any solution for it or any work around?

Thanks in advance
