Abstract
A system and method for executing commands on a specific virtual desktop operating in a multi-user server environment. The present invention provides a system and method for executing commands associated with a specific virtual desktop. A virtual process broker ( ) running on a server communicates with a remote requester and multiple virtual desktops. A virtual process agent ( ) running in each of the virtual desktops communicates with the virtual process broker. A virtual desktop identifier is assigned to each of the virtual desktops and communicated to the virtual process broker. The virtual process broker records a status for the virtual desktop identifier in a virtual process broker database. Later, a remote requester such as a remote system or a virtual desktop generates a command request that is received by the virtual broker. The virtual broker determines whether the user associated with the command request is currently logged in by querying the virtual process broker database. If the user is logged in and the command request needs the first virtual desktop to perform some action, the virtual process broker forwards the request to the virtual process agent associated with the command request. The virtual process agent then initiates any actions requested in the command request.
