REMSH Service
Using remsh

version of the userID is USER.ACCOUNT, and the UNIX equivalent is user, it is unlikely that you
will find a user on the remote system to match your id. We recommend that you always provide
the -l remoteuser argument to remsh.
The remotecommand is the command the user wishes to execute on the remote machine. This command may
be a CI command, a program (that meets certain criteria) or a shell script. If remotecommand is not specified,
remsh will terminate and provide a usage message.
NOTE remsh cannot be used to run commands that require a terminal interface (such as vi) or
commands that read their standard error (such as more).
