Hi Don,

so the
Code:
$process

is the script .sh,
Code:
$process.sh

I think your mistaken the variable script name for a name variable and then a script. they are both the same. of course i could put the hard coded name in there but its a script running it and using proper programming you should use variables when or if it changes. sorry for any miss understandings.

Quote:
The rsh utility runs the command nohup $process.sh >/dev/null > 2>&1 & on the host specified by the expansion of $HOST . Since the string $process is given to rsh inside single quotes, $process will be expanded on the system specified by the expansion of $HOST ; not on the system where you run the rsh command.
correct this is what we want to be done. one script telling another script to run in the back ground of another machine and not on the originator.

Quote:
Do you have any proof that the program that you want to run on ws1, ws2, and ws3 has been started?
yes they are all in the same room and i can just run
Code:
ps -ef | grep  <process name>

on each of the work stations 1-3, addition to this I can run the rsh through the xterm however it will hang open on the main computer/ ws4 (work station 4) which will stop after ws1 and not run the script on ws2 or ws3.

Quote:
Then try running:

Code:
rsh $HOST "nohup $process.sh >/dev/null > 2>&1 &"
which will expand both $HOST and $process on the local system.
I'm confused with this can you elaborate. why will it run on the local system or will the process call run on the local system while the process script runs on the host system.

thanks

mdbFontEncoding(5)						 The m17n Library						mdbFontEncoding(5)

NAME
mdbFontEncoding - Font Encoding DESCRIPTION
The m17n library loads information about the encoding of each font form the m17n database by the tags <font, encoding>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format. FONT-ENCODING ::= PER-FONT * PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ENCODING [ REPERTORY ] ')' FONT-SPEC ::= '(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY [ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]] REGISTRY ')' ENCODING ::= SYMBOL FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font. See m17nFont for the meaning of each property. For instance, this FONT-SPEC: (nil alice0 lao iso8859-1) should be applied to all fonts whose family name is 'alice0 lao', and registry is 'iso8859-1'. ENCODING is a symbol representing a charset. A font matching FONT-SPEC supports all characters of the charset, and a character code is mapped to the corresponding glyph code of the font by this charset. REPERTORY is a symbol representing a charset or 'nil'. Omitting it is the same as specifying ENCODING as REPERTORY. If it is not 'nil', the charset specifies the repertory of the font, i.e, which character it supports. Otherwise, whether a specific character is supported by the font or not is asked to each font driver. For so called Unicode fonts (registry is 'iso10646-1'), it is recommended to specify 'nil' as REPERTORY because such fonts usually supports only a subset of Unicode characters. COPYRIGHT
