.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Rsh
|
|
connects to the specified
|
|
.IR host ,
|
|
and executes the specified \fIcommand\fR.
|
|
.B Rsh
|
|
copies its standard input to the remote command, the standard
|
|
output of the remote command to its standard output, and the
|
|
standard error of the remote command to its standard error.
|
|
Interrupt, quit and terminate signals are propagated to the remote
|
|
command; \fBrsh\fP normally terminates when the remote command does.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The remote username used is the same as your local username,
|
|
unless you specify a different remote name with the
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
option.
|
|
This remote name must be equivalent (in the sense of
|
|
.BR rlogin (1))
|
|
to the originating account; no provision
|
|
is made for specifying a password with a command.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you omit
|
|
.IR command ,
|
|
then instead of executing a single command, you will be logged in
|
|
on the remote host using
|
|
.BR rlogin (1).
|
|
.PP
|
|
Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted
|
|
on local machine, while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on
|
|
the remote machine.
|
|
Thus the command
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
rsh otherhost cat remotefile >> localfile
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
appends the remote file
|
|
.I remotefile
|
|
to the localfile
|
|
.IR localfile ,
|
|
while
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
rsh otherhost cat remotefile ">>" otherremotefile
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
appends
|
|
.I remotefile
|
|
to
|
|
.IR otherremotefile .
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-l " username"
|
|

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|

|
|

|
|
should not inadvertently read from standard input.
|

|
or
