Submit jobs to a set of PC's (w2k/nt)

[Jens Bloch Helmers]

As a python newbie I would apreciate any input on
relevant modules or programs for solving the following task:

Send an input file to a given directory on machine A.
Start a program on machine A. (Do not wait for exit)
Send an input file to a given directory on machine B.
Start a program on machine B. (Do not wait for exit)
...
Copy result files from machine A to host machine.
Copy result files from machine B to host machine.
...

The machines are running win2k/NT and are connected in
a local TCP/IP network.

Thanks for any input,

Jens Helmers
