A Little FYI:

On occasion, Unison hangs up when synchronizing very large roots.
So I created a batch file to fix this. 
It uses the psexec.exe utility freely available from sysinternals
(http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml).
Used in combination with the kill.exe utility available from the win2k
resource kit, you can remotely authenticate to a unison client, terminate
the socket listener, and restart the unison client.

Syntax:
c:\....\psexec.exe \\remote_server_name -u user_name -p password -d
-normal c:\....\program.exe arguments
Note that the 'c:\....\program.exe' is located on the remote computer.

So, my script that kills unison and relaunches it looks like this:
c:\....\psexec.exe \\server_name -u user_name -p password -d -normal
c:\....\kill.exe unison.exe
c:\....\psexec.exe \\server_name -u user_name -p password -d -normal
c:\....\unison\unison_start.bat

And the unison_start.bat referenced in the above looks like this:
start /normal c:\unison\unison.exe -socket 9999

Interestingly enough, as a side benefit, on my win2k sp4 boxes, unison.exe
runs under the console session, but does not open a command window. This
behaviour is different from the usual -- if you were to double-click on
the unison_start.bat from the console, you would get a black terminal
window that you need to leave running (it's kind of annoying).
