Communication between the desktop and the emulator ?

Dear All,

Recently I am involved in a project about digital video monitoring.
With a software called 'Digi-Watcher' and a webcam connected to my pc,
when any motions captured ''Digi-Watcher' will send a alert or launch
an application on my pc. Now my task is to send this alert to the
emulator or launch an application in the emulator.

So I want to know how many possible ways to communicate between the
desktop and the emulator ?

Thanks in advance !!

I think the most efficient way would be to use RAPI in a _desktop_
app. Check the CeRapiIInvoke function and relatives.

You could also write a program that runs on the emulator and looks at
a shared folder to monitor presence/absence of flag files (files that
trigger events just be being created and destroyed). A slight
variation would use ftp instead of a shared folder.

Thanks a lot ,Robert !

Till now , I googled a tool called 'rapistart.exe' ,which can launch a
application in the emulator. It works well :)
