Hi folks. I'm trying to get the following script working for rebooting a bunch of clients. Up to now I've been using PSSH, but when they all startup again at the same time I get a few mount problems. So, I'm trying to stagger the reboot command. I know reboot will depend on what's running at the time. According to everything I've found the code attached should work.
But this script exits after the first iteration. I'm guessing the rsh command loses connection without getting a return so it produces an error "closed by remote host" which isn't getting caught
Could someone please help me out, this is starting to drive me nuts! I could do the same in python, but then I'm not learning anything.

Hi all
I have a while read loop that I use to process a file line by line. The reason I am using this is due the fact that I have spaces in the line and a for loop treats the space as a delimeter for the next record.
In this while loop I have a rsh. It appears that cos of the rsh, I never get... (1 Reply)
Hey all
I have two scripts, one script containing the guts of my code.
The other simply loops through a list, calling the other script on each iteration.
Problem is when I add the line
`/usr/bin/rsh -l root $HOSTNAME ""`
to my main script, the loop never seems to exectute any more... (1 Reply)
hi everyone,
I have the following problem: the foreach loop inside rsh doesn'work.
I have tried the for command but it's not recognized. with the foreach command I don't receive any error, but it doesn't really make the cycle, ignoring the foreach and executing 1 time the echo command. Anyone has... (5 Replies)
Oh, how I regret having chosen Solaris...
Really, when I had my last Solaris system ten years ago I was just happy. Like a tank: Slow, clumsy, ugly but rock-solid. Then there were 10 ten years of FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Simple install, fast, nice, good package managing, just running along.
But... (11 Replies)
So I was patching a Solaris 10 U08 X86 X2200 box in preparation for an Oracle upgrade. Rebooted the box because the patches failed and the box will not boot successfully.

Hello folks,
I've a (perhaps) simple question.
In a text file I've :

I want to make a loop that lets me connect and operate on every server:
rsh server_name1 "ls -l directory1"
I've tried with awk,... (6 Replies)

rsh
RSH(1C)RSH(1C)NAME
rsh - remote shell
SYNOPSIS
rsh host [ -l username ] [ -n ] command
host [ -l username ] [ -n ] command
DESCRIPTION
Rsh connects to the specified host, and executes the specified command. Rsh copies its standard input to the remote command, the standard
output of the remote command to its standard output, and the standard error of the remote command to its standard error. Interrupt, quit
and terminate signals are propagated to the remote command; rsh normally terminates when the remote command does.
The remote username used is the same as your local username, unless you specify a different remote name with the -l option. This remote
name must be equivalent (in the sense of rlogin(1C)) to the originating account; no provision is made for specifying a password with a com-
mand.
If you omit command, then instead of executing a single command, you will be logged in on the remote host using rlogin(1C).
Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted on local machine, while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote
machine. Thus the command
rsh otherhost cat remotefile >> localfile
appends the remote file remotefile to the localfile localfile, while
rsh otherhost cat remotefile ">>" otherremotefile
appends remotefile to otherremotefile.
Host names are given in the file /etc/hosts. Each host has one standard name (the first name given in the file), which is rather long and
unambiguous, and optionally one or more nicknames. The host names for local machines are also commands in the directory /usr/hosts; if you
put this directory in your search path then the rsh can be omitted.
FILES
/etc/hosts
/usr/hosts/*
SEE ALSO rlogin(1C)BUGS
If you are using csh(1) and put a rsh(1C) in the background without redirecting its input away from the terminal, it will block even if no
reads are posted by the remote command. If no input is desired you should redirect the input of rsh to /dev/null using the -n option.
You cannot run an interactive command (like rogue(6) or vi(1)); use rlogin(1C).
Stop signals stop the local rsh process only; this is arguably wrong, but currently hard to fix for reasons too complicated to explain
here.
