DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a computer system and a storage medium storing a program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2, there is shown an embodiment of a computer system and a storage medium storing a program according to the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a conceptual configuration and processing of each unit of a computer system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the computer system, and the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 2, a client computer 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as a computer 1) as a processing instruction device installed at a point A, and a server computer 2 (hereinafter simply referred to as a processing execution device B) installed at a point B are provided. And is connected to the computer 1 via a line or the like. The server computer 3 is a processing execution device A installed at the point A.

In FIG. 1, a computer 1 is provided with a batch file 11. This batch file 1
No. 1 has, for example, the name “JOB _- STAT.BAT” and describes processing (1) and processing (2) as instructions to the computer.

On the other hand, for example, "CH
K _- RUN. File 2 with the name "BAT"
The batch file 21 describes processes (1) to (4). The batch file 21 is stored in the OS (basic software) 2 of the computer 2.
In response to the instruction 2, the program is started, for example, every 10 minutes. Further, the computer 2 is provided with a program file 23. The program file 23 stores a program to be executed according to the instruction of the batch file 21. For example, “PROGR
AM. EXE ”. Computer 2
Is, for example, "FLA"
G. FIG. A file 24 having a name of “TXT” is created.

Next, the operation of the computer system according to the embodiment of the present invention with the above configuration will be described. The computer system according to the present embodiment is configured such that the operator of the point A remotely controls the computer 2 of the point B via the computer 1 to execute the program of the target program file 23. In the following description, the program file 23
Is referred to as a program 23.

First, by executing a process such as "a person who wants to execute the program 23 instructs at an arbitrary timing" as shown by 25 in FIG. To instruct the execution of the batch file 11. The computer 1 creates a file 24 in the computer 2 according to the process (1) of the batch file 11. Thereafter, the process ends in process (2).

In the computer 2, the OS (basic software) 22 instructs the batch file 21 to execute the processing every 10 minutes. When the instruction is issued, the batch file 21 executes the file 24 in the processing (1). Check for the existence of. If the file 24 has been created, the execution of the program 23 is instructed by the process (2). When the process of starting execution of this program is completed,
The file 24 is deleted by the process (3). Therefore, the file 24 exists on the computer 2 only from the time when the operator instructs the execution of the batch file 11 to the time when the execution of the program 23 is actually started.
In the case where the file 24 does not exist in the process (1), and when the file 2
If the deletion of No. 4 has been completed, the process (4) is ended.

As described above, the program 2
3 (in batch file 11)
), The program 23 is actually executed after 0 to 10 minutes.

The above-mentioned time of 0 to 10 minutes can be appropriately adjusted. In that case, the execution interval of the batch file 21 by the OS (basic software) 22 of the computer 2 may be adjusted. As a result, the time can be changed according to the contents of the target program 23 and the like.

Incidentally, it is also possible for the computer 3 at the point A to execute a predetermined program based on an instruction of the computer 1 by an operation of the operator.

In the computer 2, the O
A memory storing a program for executing each process by S (basic software) or a batch file constitutes a storage medium according to the present invention. As the storage medium, a semiconductor memory, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a magnetic storage medium, or the like can be used.

[0024]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the computer system and the storage medium storing the programs of the present invention, the computer having the target program is located at a remote place, and the computer is located at the remote place. Even if no one can operate the computer, the target program can be easily executed by operating the computer via another computer.

Further, according to the computer system and the storage medium storing the program of the present invention, whether or not to execute the program is determined at predetermined time intervals, so that the computer can execute other processing during that time.

Further, according to the computer system of the present invention and the storage medium storing the program, the predetermined time can be adjusted according to the contents of the target program and the like.
