WMI call to run a remote application

I'd like to have a PHP script running on my web server (running IIS 6)
that can make a WMI call and start a specific remote process on a remote
computer.

For what its worth, the remote process I'd like to trigger is a batch file.

I've googled this extensively and can't find anything that points me in
the right direction. All the sample scripts are in vbscript, but I
assume I can probably do something like this with PHP as well since it
has COM libraries.

Any suggestions?

-John

To execute a shell statement on the server side use
http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php. That way you keep Web things
in PHP and Shell Script things in a more appriate language like cscript
(vbs) or batch files.

Even though PHP *can do it*, it doesn't mean it's the best language for
doing it.

My 2 cents,
