The "rsh" is itself a local command but the parameters (in this case up to the semi-colon) are executed on the remote machine as shell commands.

If we escape the semi-colon the second command gets executed on the remote computer too. The log file still gets created on the local computer.
Code:
rsh <host> setenv $myPath \; $mySecCommand >> <filename>

If we escape the ">>" the log file should get created on the remote computer.
Code:
rsh <host> setenv $myPath \; $mySecCommand \>\> <filename>

It is better to use the "-n" switch to "rsh" to be 100% sure what is going to happen to any i/o. For example.
Code:
rsh -n <host> setenv $myPath \; $mySecCommand >> <filename>


To me personally this is all academic. For anything beyond the simplest command line I would put the commands into a script on the remote machine and execute the script with:
Code:
rsh <host> -n "scriptname <parameter>"

The script itself would contain a shebang line and anything needed to set up a suitable environment to run the process.



A quick way to check which computer a command is executed on:
rsh remote_machine -n "uname -n";uname -n
rsh remote_machine -n "uname -n"\;"uname -n"
Thanks, this was really helpfull and also an eye opener Smilie

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
