On the AS400 I want to remotely execute: 

strpgrprg topgr(userx) message(ALERT!)

What options are available to me?

update: I want to run a AS400 program from outside of the AS400. I want to execute this command (or similar) from a windows batch, or a linux shell script.

I've found some info on how-to via FTP. Just haven't tried it out and still looking to see if it's the best way to do it.

Can you provide more details? You want to execute a command on the i or on a PC? What would be executing this command? – Mike Wills Jun 17 '11 at 18:34
updated. Linked something I found that uses FTP. Haven't had a chance to try it out, but still would like to know other options. – WernerCD Jun 17 '11 at 18:52

You may get a more knowledgeable audience on Serverfault. – music2myear Jun 17 '11 at 18:53
What @music2myear said. An AS400 may be a little out of scope for Super User's standard audience, I'm afraid. – Shinrai Jun 17 '11 at 19:39

Unless you want to write a simple Java program using JT400, FTP is probably your best option.

If you want other options, post a message on MIDRANGE-L there are around 2,000 people on the list many whom have done this before.

FTP is easy... now I just gotta merge this with my next question about Exchange Email Account monitoring & Scripting. Thanks. – WernerCD Jun 21 '11 at 14:16

IBM i has a rexec service that you could try using.

To start it, run 'STRTCPSVR SERVER(*REXEC)'

I've never used it myself, but it should work with any rexec client.
