rsh breaking me out of loop

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 items.

The scripts are very simple and I do not know what this rsh could be doing to cause my script to stop looping. Some funky shell goings on that I don't know about.

Adding the & at the end of this line stops the problem but that is undesirable.

Anyone?
Mark

You are probably looping on input data rather than with a counter. rsh inherits stdin from the loop and consumes all of the input to feed to the remote command. Use "rsh -n" to prevent this.
