rsh itself apparently doesn't support a timeout. If you've got netcat available, you could use this
and check $?.
Or use IO::Socket::INET to open a connection yourself with a timeout and check that.

Just implemented sendmail on rh9. The clients are timing out or dropping a connection to the server. What's up? I've been tweaking, but no noticable change. They can recieve and send mail, but it errors out consistently and then reconnects fine. Am I missing a timeout setting in the cf file? ... (1 Reply)
Hi
can anyone help with the following:-
when sending large e-mails via a ssh session the job always times out every 5 min before the mail is sent, this means that a user has to tap a key to stop it timming out. Is there a way to stop this from happening.

hi,
i have many ksh shell scripts running "rsh" command and sometimes the remote host doesn't answer so the rsh command doesn't return data and the script waits.
How can i modify this to have a forced return to continue my script , a kind of controlled timeout ?
thanks in advance... (0 Replies)

ssh-argv0
SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]
hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.
OPTIONS
See ssh(1).
FILES
See ssh(1).
