Hi All

I am trying to run an RSH command remotely to a machine, but I am gettinf the following errors, can anyone help me to resolve the errors

user@server10:~> rsh user@server24 'uname -n'
rcmd: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution


Thanks in advance to all

try this:

rsh -l <username> <server> "<command>"

this should work.

cheers.

Yeah, that works but you must also make sure that the .rhosts for that particular is setup accordingly, if not, you'll get an error:

Permission denied.

if you "ping server24," does it come back OK? if not, try pinging the ip address of the remote server and see if that comes back ... if it does, fix your name resolution mechanism --- NIS, NIS+, /etc/hosts, DNS, etc. --- and you should be okay ... also make sure that your local server can only be associated with 1 hostname by the remote server ...


good luck!
