Full Discussion: rsh script with inside a for loop
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting rsh script with inside a for loop Post 96457 by Perderabo on Friday 20th of January 2006 06:10:41 AM

For one thing, try this:
$ xyz=hello
$ echo "xyz = $xyz"
xyz = hello
$
Shells look inside double quoted strings and replace variables. Your variable $ptscluster will be replaced before your local shell even locates the rsh command. This doesn't explain why you're not looping, but I'm not a csh expert. You should put scripts in an executable file, not in an argument to a command line. Once you use something like "rsh host ./remoteloop", all of the problems will vanish. Make sure you have a line like "#! /usr/bin/csh" in your remoteloop file. Note that you can create remoteloop locally, rcp it into place, chmod it, run it, and then remove it.

nisserver

nisserver(1M)                                             System Administration Commands                                             nisserver(1M)

NAME

       nisserver - set up NIS+ servers

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -r [-x] [-f] [-v] [-Y] [ -d NIS+_domain] [ -g NIS+_groupname] [-l network_passwd]

       /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -M [-x] [-f] [-v] [-Y] -d NIS+_domain [ -g NIS+_groupname] [ -h NIS+_server_host]

       /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -R [-x] [-f] [-v] [-Y] [ -d NIS+_domain] [ -h NIS+_server_host]

DESCRIPTION

       The   nisserver shell script can be used to set up  a root master, non-root master, and replica NIS+ server with level 2 security (DES). If
       other authentication mechanisms are configured with nisauthconf(1M), nisserver will set up a NIS+ server using those  mechanisms.  nisauth-
       conf(1M) should be used before nisserver.

       When  setting up a new domain, this script creates the NIS+ directories (including groups_dir and org_dir) and system table objects for the
       domain specified. It does not populate the tables. nispopulate(1M) must be used to populate the tables.

OPTIONS

       -d NIS+_domain          Specifies the name for the NIS+ domain.  The default is your  local domain.

       -f                      Forces the  NIS+ server setup without prompting for confirmation.

       -g NIS+_groupname       Specifies the  NIS+ group name for the new domain.  This option is not valid with -R option.  The default group  is
                               admin.<domain>.

       -h NIS+_server_host     Specifies  the  hostname  for the NIS+ server.  It must be a valid host in the local domain.  Use a fully qualified
                               hostname (for example, hostx.xyz.sun.com.) to specify a host outside of your local domain.  This  option  is   only
                               used  for setting up non-root master or replica servers. The default for non-root master server setup is to use the
                               same list of servers as the parent domain. The default for replica server setup is the local hostname.

       -l network_password     Specifies the network password with which to create the credentials for the root master  server.   This  option  is
                               only  used  for  master root server setup (-r option).  If this option is not specified, the script prompts you for
                               the login password.

       -M                      Sets up the specified host as a master server. Make sure that rpc.nisd(1M) is running  on  the  new  master  server
                               before this command is executed.

       -R                      Sets up the specified host as a replica server.  Make sure that rpc.nisd is running on the new replica server.

       -r                      Sets up the server as a root master server.  Use the -R option to set up a root replica server.

       -v                      Runs the script in verbose mode.

       -x                      Turns  the  echo mode on.  The script just prints the commands that it would have executed.  Note that the commands
                               are not actually executed.  The default is off.

       -Y                      Sets up a NIS+ server with NIS-compatibility mode.  The default is to set up the server  without  NIS-compatibility
                               mode.

USAGE

       Use  the first synopsis of the command (-r) to set up a root master server. To run the command,  you must be logged in as super-user on the
       server machine.

       Use the second synopsis of the command (-M) to set up a non-root master server for the specified domain. To run the command,  you  must  be
       logged  in  as  a NIS+ principal on a NIS+ machine and have write permission to the parent directory of the domain that you are setting up.
       The new non-root master server machine must already be an  NIS+ client (see nisclient(1M)) and have the  rpc.nisd(1M) daemon running.

       Use the third synopsis of the command (-R) to set up a replica server for both root and non-root domains. To run the command, you  must  be
       logged  in  as a NIS+ principal on a NIS+ machine and have write permission to the parent directory of the domain that you are replicating.
       The new non-root replica server machine must already be an  NIS+ client and have the  rpc.nisd daemon running.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Setting up Servers

       To set up a root master server for domain  sun.com.:

       root_server# /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -r -d sun.com.

       For the following examples make sure that  the new servers are  NIS+ clients and that rpc.nisd is running on these hosts  before  executing
       nisserver. To set up a replica server for the sun.com. domain on host sunreplica:

       root_server# /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -R -d sun.com. -h sunrep

       To set up a non-root master server for domain xyz.sun.com. on host sunxyz with the  NIS+ groupname as admin-mgr.xyz.sun.com.:

       root_server# /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -M -d xyz.sun.com. -h sunxyz 
       -g admin-mgr.xyz.sun.com.

       To set up a non-root replica server for domain xyz.sun.com. on host sunabc:

       sunxyz# /usr/lib/nis/nisserver -R -d xyz.sun.com. -h sunabc

       NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration from  NIS+  to  LDAP  are
       available in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
