Can I find the OS of a remote system using LabVIEW?

I wish to be able to start an application on a remote system using
LabVIEW. To do this, I need to know what the OS of the remote system is
(Windows, Linux, etc). I can ask the user to provide this information
for me, but is there any way I can get LabVIEW to automatically
retrieve this information? I know I can use the application node with
the OS sub-section to get this information for the local machine... is
there any way I can remotely run this? Would VI server allow me to run
this, if I turned it into a VI, on the remote system such that I could
retrieve this information for the remote system? Or is there a neater
solution I'm missing?
Cheers,
M.J.

Heya... many thanks for the suggestion(s).
The problem with my case is there's any number of users on the network
that might be using this, and it could be running on a Windows or Linux
box, depending on user circumstances, so trying to get a VI Starter
type application put into the start-up of all machines just in case is
a) overkill & b) more than I want to bite off So basically I
need to have the VI running on the machine in order to use VI server is
what I'm hearing & reading from the help, which essentially my idea
of dynamically firing off labview & loading/running any VI on the
remote system just ain't possible... hmmmn.
Back to the drawing board then, it looks like...
Cheers,
M.J.

  • I can not find NI cRIO-9076 in Remote System

    I can not find NI cRIO-9076 in Remote System. How can i deal with it? The Status LED is on every couple seconds.

    It must be activated before Apple's tracking system will recognize it. I just tried your SN and that was the message I got from https://selfsolve.apple.com/wcResults.do.
    I suggest editing your post and removing the identifying information in it, as millions of people can read these forums and not all of them are completely honest.

  • I have one folder with several projects all of which Aperure can not find the original.  I do not use referenced files.  I can't make any adjustments like cropping etc. What can I do to print any of these photos?

    I have one folder with several projects all of which Aperure can not find the original.  I do not use referenced files.  I can't make any adjustments like cropping etc. What can I do to adjust or print any of these photos?  IO have no ther projects with this problem.  My Aperture Library is automatically saved to two external drives.

    I have one folder with several projects all of which Aperure can not find the original.
    Have you checked inside your Aperture library, if the original files are still there?
    Try to find out, when the images in those projects have been originally imported, then open the Aperture library by ctrl-clicking it and using the command "Show package contents" from the pop-up menu. In the window that will open, select the folder "Masters" and browse the contents. You need to find the subfolder with the year you imported the images, then the folders with the month and the day.
    Are your original files still there?
    If yes, copy them to a folder on your desktop for safe-keeping, and then try, if repairing the permissions and the other Furst Aid tools will help Aperture to connect to these missing files again - see this link:  Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    If the First Aid Tools don't help, then check, if Aperture has moved the missing images to a "recovered folder". If not, reimport the images, you saved to your Desktop and use the Lift&Stamp tool to transfer any adjustment and captions to your reimported images.

    Good for you.
    And while I'm the forum protocol officer this afternoon, I'd like to direct your attention to the use of the REPLY button. If you click on it on a specific post, your post is threaded to it and when you view the forum in THREADED mode, you can see the linked posts. If you click REPLY on your original post, you end up talking to yourself (maybe you do that at home as well?). The difficulty is, it becomes unclear to whom you are directing your words.

  • Where can I find the safety ground of my system?

    Hi, I am about to start working with my CFP-BP-x backplane. There is a safety information I have to follow. One of them is about connecting the protective earth (PE) ground terminal on the CFP-BP-x backplane to the system safety ground. Where or how I can get this system safety ground. Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Dedy

    The safety ground is the "equipment ground", (the ground pin of a standard
    120V AC receptacle if you are plugging your fieldpoint in, the green or bare wire
    in standard US wiring practice if it is hard-wired). If you are using a PS-5 power
    supply, for example, the ground pin on the terminal block should also be connected
    to this ground, as should any metal box or base the fieldpoint and its power supply
    is housed in.
    Unless this is crystal clear to you, I would recommend getting a qualified
    individual to wire up the AC power and equipment ground for your system to
    make sure it is both code-correct and (most importantly) safe. Electrical codes are
    pretty specific about how equipment grounds are properly connected and wired, because
    a life may depend on it.

  • Can't find the HTML templates in Encore for use with Flash output

    Anyone know where these are located in CS4?

    Its easy to write HTML templates. If you have an image that you want to use as Template, create an index.html file with <encoreswfobject> tag in it. This tag will be replaced by the SWF code.
    In following example of index.HTML file, <EncoreSWFObject> is compulsory tag, rest of the tags are optional. This will take boy.jpg (in Images folder) as background.
    <head>
    <title><EncoreSWFTitle></title>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="#ffffff" background="Images/boy.jpg">
    <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0">

  • Can you find the imported Library ? My system can't !

    Dear People,
    In making a first attempt to do an applet in JBuilder7 rather
    than from the Dos prompt my imported library is not being found . Here are the steps I did.
    1) deleted all the premade source code on the scrren and
    keyed in my applet code "MakeBox.java"
    2) went to Tools | Configure Libraries
    I saw on the left "User Home " and under that i saw
    "objectdraw"
    3) under the class tab I saw:
    [ C:/WINDOWS/jbproject/objectdraw.jar ]
    4) at the Required Libraries tab I saw:
    "objectdraw"
    the error message I get when I try to compile the class is:
    "MakeBox.java": Error : cannot access directory objectdraw at
    line 6
    below is the source code
    Thank you in advance
    Stan
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.applet.*;
    import objectdraw.*;
    public class MakeBox extends WindowController
    public void begin()
    public void onMousePress(Location point)
    new FilledRect(30,150,30,20,canvas);

    I don't know if this is your problem or not, but whenever JBuilder decides it doesn't like me I usually have to go do this:
    1)Project Menu
    2)Project Properties
    3)Paths tab
    4)make sure your working directory is right
    5)get rid of the /test in the path of the second radiobuttoned option
    maybe that will help, maybe not...its what I do and it usually work.

  • I can't find the add-on icon

    I had a virus and when the tech department finished clearing it some of my FF add-ons were missing and I can't find the one that grouped my tabs; using an icon at the right end of my URL bar. I found one with a similar icon; called "Tab view" and installed it, but the icon doesn't get added to the URL bar; and I'm not even sure it's the one I was using or if that is a FF option and not an add-on.
    I also re-installed Roborm on my computer and checked the Firefox option; but it did not load the Roboform toolbar that was there before the virus. I checked View toolbars and they are all checked.
    I'm pulling my hair out!

    ''click and drag the "List all tabs" icon onto a toolbar.''
    * Yes! That's it!!! I was beginning to realize I was looking in the wrong place but never expected to find it there. Thanks so much.
