rsh help with remote prompts
Hi,

I'm writing a shell script that rsh's onto a remote machine and runs a perl script that requires values to be entered as the script executes. I also need to ba able to see the outputs from the perl script.

When I try to run it I get an stty : Invalid argument and understand that this is due to it being run remotely.

Is there anyway to get the scripts working and displaying back correctly.

Thanx.

as far I know
I think you can doit with

>> rsh hostname [-l username] <your script>

I beleave in this case <your script> is located on the remote host but asks for input on the calling host.
