Script using rsh(remote shell)
Hi,
I am writing a script that will require me to perform tasks across servers. I tried to use rsh <host> "Commands..." > /dev/null 2>&1. However, I am required to execute a long series of commands after that and rsh does not seem to support this and its also insecure.
I tried to use rsh to run a local script in the other server but due to the natural of the rsh command, it simply does not work.
Is there any other way for me work this out? Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Joseph

Dear All,
I was wondering if there was any way that I could make RSH be non-blocking? i.e. make a remote connection to another machine and execute a function while being able to resume your program.

RSH(1) BSD General Commands Manual RSH(1)
NAME
rsh -- remote shell
SYNOPSIS
rsh [-Kdnx] [-l username] host [command]
DESCRIPTION
Rsh executes command on host.
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 termi-
nates when the remote command does. The options are as follows:
-d The -d option turns on socket debugging (using setsockopt(2)) on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
-l By default, the remote username is the same as the local username. The -l option allows the remote name to be specified.
-n The -n option redirects input from the special device /dev/null (see the BUGS section of this manual page).
If no command is specified, you will be logged in on the remote host using rlogin(1).
Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted on local machine, while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote
machine. For example, the command
rsh otherhost cat remotefile >> localfile
appends the remote file remotefile to the local file localfile, while
rsh otherhost cat remotefile ">>" other_remotefile
appends remotefile to other_remotefile.
FILES
/etc/hosts
SEE ALSO
rlogin(1),
HISTORY
The rsh command appeared in 4.2BSD.
BUGS
If you are using csh(1) and put a rsh 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)) using rsh; use rlogin(1) instead.
Stop signals stop the local rsh process only; this is arguably wrong, but currently hard to fix for reasons too complicated to explain here.
