I have a Windows development machine, and a Linux target on a company network. After booting the target board, how do i learn if it has booted up ? ping dig host nslookup utilities with target name do not resolve the IP address and hence do not reply. The board has Busy box utilities only.
I have seen this post, but the problem still stands.

do you know the IP address or the hostname for this target board ?
if yes,
does it respond to ssh host_name_or_ip_here command ?
if yes and if busybox utilities are installed, you can execute
ssh remote_target "/bin/busybox uptime"
and parse the output on your windows machine to see if the board is up for a short time, which means it rebooted recently.
I hope this is what you are looking for

Folks,
I have Kali linux running on VM machine..there are 2 interfaces configured on this machine..1 interface is configured as "share with my Mac" and the other interface is configured as "Private to Mac".And i believe "private to Mac" option will allow me to connect my VM linux machine to the local machine.... ifconfig command doesn't show any output. i have manually configured the IP address to both interface by editing vi /etc/network/interfaces and restarted the network services using the command "/etc/init.d/networking restart"...but still ifconfig doesn't give any result....
Actually i want to communicate on port ssh from my local machine to the linux vm machine..since the machines do not communicate each other.i am not able to work anymore..Can someone please have a look in this issue and let me know what changes are required to complete my requirement...
Have you tried sudo ifconfig ? If it doesn't work the problem could be the drivers of your network card. I'm not sure this will works but you can watch this tutorial How to install network card to Kali

EDIT:
To be precise i wanted to control a windows host from a Linux command line.
Like executing a command under windows through ssh session or telnet from linux.
Windows doesn't have any inbuilt sshd server like linux.
So i would like to know whether it is possible or not.
You do it with winexe the look at winexe.
The page says it is capable of of running command on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 systems from GNU/Linux (and possibly also from other Unices capable of building the Samba 4 software package).
I can also tell you that after configuring the windows firewall properly it also works on Windows 7 and Windows server 2008.

In one of my linux box, some program (database archiver process) has consumed all the space available. I am not able to access this box using ssh username# so that I can login to box and do the clean up and fix the rouge process. Could you please let me know how we can connect this box in such scenario.
If it is local machine, unattachment the hard drive and then connect it with another PC then manually remove extra files there.
You will have to login as root.
If you have physical access to the machine, boot a live version of your linux from CD/DVD/USB. From there you can get a root shell, mount the drive, and clean it up.

I have recently started using iptables, and I executed iptables -F without knowledge of what it might do. And suddenly I have lost connection to the node. I can't even ping the node. Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks!
You will need physical access to the computer and either restart the firewall script or simply reboot the server (but that's the "rude" way of fixing this).
If this computer is hosted at colocation company you need to either contact their support and ask them to reboot the machine (do not give them your password) or sometimes they have some sort of remote rebooting mechanism. Look through the FAQ of the colocation provider.

i am trying to get the remote access from windows system to linux system using teamviewer but when the connection is established the windows system sees the black screen. so anyone can help me how to establish the fair connection.
I had the same problem - for me with two solutions. On some systems, it just took about 30sec for the screen to build up (in that case, just be patient) and in the other case, there was a driver problem. Try to change the driver to the default ubuntu one and deactivate the proprietary hardware driver in that case.
