NAME

       rstart - a sample implementation of a Remote Start client

SYNOPSIS

       rstart [-c context] [-g] [-l username] [-v] hostname command args...

OPTIONS

       This  option  specifies	the context in which the command is to be run.	A context specifies a general environment the program is to be run
       in.  The details of this environment are host-specific; the intent is that the client need not know how the environment must be configured.
       If  omitted, the context defaults to X.	This should be suitable for running X programs from the host's "usual" X installation.	Interprets
       command as a generic command, as discussed in the protocol document.  This is intended to allow common applications to be  invoked  without
       knowing	what  they  are called on the remote system. Currently, the only generic commands defined are Terminal, LoadMonitor, ListContexts,
       and ListGenericCommands.  This option is passed to the underlying rsh; it requests that the command be run as  the  specified  user.   This
       option  requests  that rstart be verbose in its operation. Without this option, rstart discards output from the remote's rstart helper, and
       directs the rstart helper to detach the program from the rsh connection used to start it.  With this option, responses from the helper  are
       displayed and the resulting program is not detached from the connection.

DESCRIPTION

       The  rstart command is a simple implementation of a Remote Start client as defined in A Flexible Remote Execution Protocol Based on rsh. It
       uses rsh as its underlying remote execution mechanism.

NOTES

       This is a trivial implementation.  Far more sophisticated implementations are possible and should be developed.

       Error handling is nonexistent.  Without -v, error reports from the remote are discarded silently.  With -v, error reports are displayed.

       The $DISPLAY environment variable is passed.  If it starts with a colon, the local hostname is prepended.  The local domain name should	be
       appended to unqualified host names, but is not.

       The $SESSION_MANAGER environment variable should be passed, but is not.

       X11 authority information is passed for the current display.

       ICE authority information should be passed, but is not.	It is not completely clear how rstart should select what ICE authority information
       to pass.

       Even without -v, the sample rstart helper will leave a shell waiting for the program to complete.  This causes no real  harm  and  consumes
       relatively few resources, but if it is undesirable it can be avoided by explicitly specifying the "exec" command to the shell, for example,

       rstart somehost exec xterm

       This  is  obviously  dependent on the command interpreter being used on the remote system; the example given will work for the Bourne and C
       shells.
