What I really want is - to trigger some Linux shell scripts, or PERL from Lotus Notes script "shell" command. batchFile = "z:\usr\share\bin\test.bat" If Dir$(batchFile) <> "" Then taskId% = Shell(batchFile) Else Print batchFile & " not found." End If (where test.bat has one line similar to this one - <perl_pgm_name>.pl I've also tried winefile (did not know it existed) - double click did not do it though ... What am I doing wrong here ? Thanks.

That is why I wrote "from a windows program". Start winefile, double click on the icon of a shellscript, works here. I launch Linux programs from within Agent same way. If that is not what you want, can you explain why you cannot execute the Linux script directly?
