Windows Named Pipe and hbpipeio

[Lorenzo Fiorini]

In Windows, I need to control a running program from an external client that can execute powershell commands like " [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText("\\.\pipe\myname", "command") ". I tried to use hbpipeio but as far as I understand it is not suitable for this scenario. So I am trying to use something like the code below in a thread. Do you know any other way to do it (btw using the Windows Service APIs is not an option).

regards,
Lorenzo

...

   hPipe = CreateNamedPipeA(
      pszPipeName,
      PIPE_ACCESS_INBOUND,
      PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE | PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE | PIPE_WAIT,
      1, 1024, 1024, 0, NULL );

...

      if( ConnectNamedPipe( hPipe, NULL ) )
      {
         if( ReadFile( hPipe, buffer, sizeof(buffer) - 1, &dwBytesRead, NULL ) )
         { ... }
      }
      DisconnectNamedPipe( hPipe );

Hi Lorenzo,

Thank you for the info, but actually we are moving to an alternative method since we are experiencing several permissions issues using Named Pipes.

regards,
Lorenzo
