Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Forumers,

Sorry if it's really simple, but I couldn't find a way out.

I've to do something like this in a script (csh):

<some commands, variable settings, scripts>
rlogin different_server
<some commands, variable settings, scripts>

After "rlogin", it shows the prompt of the machine on which I've logged on, and further script works only after I exit.

Basically, I've to fire a job on this new server.

How to do that?

Thanks,

Sumit Garg

i don't use rlogin to fire off remote jobs ... rlogin is for passwordless logins ...

in solaris ...

Code:

rsh remotehost  "/path/to/job1;/path/to/job2 ..."

in hp (verify whether it's rsh or remsh)

Code:

remsh remotehost  "/path/to/job1;/path/to/job2 ..."

This'll work but my requirement is a bit complex.

As mentioned in my first mail, my script is like:

<some commands, variable settings, scripts>
rlogin different_server
<some commands, variable settings, scripts>

So I've to use certain variables declared previously on the new machine.

Ex. code

<lot of other code>
set cur_dir = `pwd`
rlogin new_server
cd $cur_dir
<lot of other code>

So i want something like this to be executed. That is only machine should get changed and i can use all the variables on new machine.

Is it possible???

note that i use double quotes in the rsh line ...

Code:

set cur_dir = `pwd`
rsh remotehost "cd $cur_dir; job1; job2 ..."

Hi,
I am having the same problem as Sumitgarg above. I want to do an rlogin and still be able to use the value of variables from the previous shell. is that possible at all.?

Thanks for your help in advance

I also have a similar problem. I am rather new to Unix scripting also.

I am trying writing a script that will ftp a file from one server to another:

<random code>
>rlogin host2
>cd /newdir
>ftp host1
>cd /newdir
>get <Filename>

I tried using 'rsh' but couldnt get it to 'cd /newdir' or ftp.

Thank you for any help you can provide.
