[qmtest] problem with targets file

[Jain, Pankaj]

Thanks for the info. Actually I have the database on remote machine but
seems like directory structure on local and remote machine has to be
identical. That's another problem now.. is there any way I can specify
the path to database on remote machine. This will solve all my problems.

Please respond. 
Thanks 
Pankaj

I was also able to run a command remotely with the corrected syntax.

The only real step missing from the above sequence appears to be that
the test database is missing from the remote host (the database resides
on a different path on my target system, so I symlinked it on the
remote system).

BTW, is it possible to automatically copy the test database to the
remote host (and reference that database) before running the test?  I
am new to this, so not sure if my understanding is wrong here.
