Push a button to run a script on UNIX and display the results.

I have taken a beginning class in visual basic; however i will be using the visual basic for applications and excell or a form in Access to do this.

I need to know how to code the command button to send the results from the script ran on a unix server to a text box.  
 
Basically I want to open a unix session and display results in a box.

Do you need to run the script from your app,or can you run the script from cron and pick up the results?Are you sharing any directories on Unix with something like Samba or Visionfs?

In wich OS you are running your VB app?
If it is NT/2000, yiu could use rexec.
