Overview
Remsh allows a user to connect to the remote system and execute a
command on that remote system. Output from the remote command is
sent to remsh's standard output so the user can see the results of their
command.
Remsh is the same service as rsh on BSD Unix systems. The name was
changed due to a conflict with the existing command rsh (restricted
shell) on System V Unix systems.
Using the REMSH Client
The remsh client allows an HP3000 "client" system connect to a remote
"server" system and execute a single command on that system. The
server can be any system connected to the network that has
implemented the remshd daemon using TCP/IP. The user may run the
remsh client from either the POSIX shell or from the MPE/iX prompt.
REMSH Client Requirements
The REMSH Client requires version C.60.00 or C.55.00 Power Patch 3
or later of the MPE/iX Fundamental Operating System and a supported
TCP/IP network link.
To install the REMSH Client, the system manager must update the file
SERVICES.NET.SYS. SERVICES.NET.SYS is the Internet Services file
that associates an official service name and alias with the port number
and protocol the service uses.
Documentation
Documentation for the REMSH Client can be found in the Configuring
and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services that is shipped with the
MPE/iX FOS. Functionality details of the REMSH Client are in this
communicator.
