I'm trying to start/stop MS SQL Service on various DB servers (locally) but we don't always know the name of the instance (Always only 1 SQL Server running on a single server).

hey all, I need to set up a shell script that ssh's into a remote server then runs some commands. I have minimal control over the remote server, and only slightly more control over the server the ...

Save that batch script with a .bat extension, like GetCSV.bat Executing that batch script will open up an ftp connection and fire off your commands resulting in filename.csv being downloaded.
