Question launch & monitor process on remote host
Hi,
I am working on HPUX11 systems.
I intend to achieve following:

Need to write a shell script that will launch a program on remote UNIX machine. It will be gr8 if in addition, the remote process can be monitored using some feedback.

I donno how to use rsh / ssh for this. (specifying username and password for the remote host).

Can this b achieved only using shell script, or I need to get help of CGI / Java-RMI.

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards.

You can use ssh - to set it up for no password, see this page on mit.edu.

To set up rsh with no password (not recommended for security concerns), see the man page for rsh - look for the information on host.equiv.

There is also a software program called Expect which may suit your needs.
