RSH(1) BSD General Commands Manual RSH(1)NAME
rsh -- remote shell
SYNOPSIS
rsh [-46v] [-l user] [-p port] [user@]host command
DESCRIPTION
rsh makes a connection to the remote shell daemon running on host and starts command on the remote machine. All input is transmitted to the
remote machine and all output on the remote machine is sent back to the rsh client on the local machine.
OPTIONS -4 Use only IPv4 to connect to the remote host.
-6 Use only IPv6 to connect to the remote host.
-v Be verbose.
-n Redirect stdin to /dev/null to be able to run rsh in the background.
-l user
Connect to the remote host as a different user than on the local machine.
-p port
Connect to a different port than the default one for rsh.

RSH(1) BSD General Commands Manual RSH(1)NAME
rsh -- remote shell
SYNOPSIS
rsh [-46dn] [-l username] [-t timeout] host [command]
DESCRIPTION
The rsh utility executes command on host.
The rsh utility 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; rsh
normally terminates when the remote command does. The options are as follows:
-4 Use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Use IPv6 addresses only.
-d Turn on socket debugging (using setsockopt(2)) on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
-l username
Allow the remote username to be specified. By default, the remote username is the same as the local username. Authorization is deter-
mined as in rlogin(1).
-n Redirect input from the special device /dev/null (see the BUGS section of this manual page).
-t timeout
Allow a timeout to be specified (in seconds). If no data is sent or received in this time, rsh will exit.
If no command is specified, you will be logged in on the remote host using rlogin(1).
Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted on local machine, while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote
machine. For example, the command
rsh otherhost cat remotefile >> localfile
appends the remote file remotefile to the local file localfile, while
rsh otherhost cat remotefile ">>" other_remotefile
appends remotefile to other_remotefile.
FILES
/etc/hosts
SEE ALSO rlogin(1), setsockopt(2), rcmd(3), ruserok(3), hosts(5), hosts.equiv(5), rlogind(8), rshd(8)HISTORY
The rsh command appeared in 4.2BSD.
BUGS
If you are using csh(1) and put a rsh in the background without redirecting its input away from the terminal, it will block even if no reads
are posted by the remote command. If no input is desired you should redirect the input of rsh to /dev/null using the -n option.
You cannot run an interactive command (like ee(1) or vi(1)) using rsh; use rlogin(1) instead.
Stop signals stop the local rsh process only; this is arguably wrong, but currently hard to fix for reasons too complicated to explain here.
