Remotely Open Programs In Dos?

[Iowa]

Hello all, I'm yet another unlucky recipient of the dreaded LAN-party TASKKILL.

What my friends' computers must be displaying looks something like this, if you know what I mean:

taskkill /s Iowaspc /f /t /im steam.exe /im explorer.exe
shutdown -s -m \\Iowaspc -t 05

Now you must all know how dreadfully annoying this little .BAT can be when you're on the receiving end...sure I can retaliate, but I'm looking for something a bit more...fun...

Is there a way that I may remotely open programs/tasks through the CMD? Because it would be oh-so-fun to have them wonder why their frame-rate is suddenly dropping and then find out that I've launched an instance of FEAR, Stalker, and Half-Life 2 in addition to their current game. *evil laughter*

I think I've seen programs that you run and then are able to do such things through Command Prompt, but I was just wondering if Windows XP has any integrated way to play tricks on my friends PCs. From an ethical standpoint, it's only fair that I return fire :D.

And if there is no possible way, or you are unwilling to relinquish this information (curses), what other remote Command Prompt jokes do you know? Of course, I'm not looking for anything serious (damaging), just plain fun. :)

hmm, RAT?

net send NameOfRemotePC "Firewall exeption ! Reboot Windows to recover system integrity"

^Evil...except for the fact that my friends might not fall for it. Thanks anyway, I'll try it next LAN party.

every semi sane person has net send off :P

if there is enough permission try using psexec from sysintenals using the -i option.

@russ: My friends are insane! :D

@jg007: Thanks, but I'd already stumbled across utilities like that...what I'm really after is just to be able to do it from straight CMD, but I don't think it's an integrated command.

you can use ' psexec \\{computer name or ip} cmd ' and this will open up a command prompt on their workstation which you can use to you advantage :devil:
