/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb TCPIP Services, Remote Commands, RSH, Examples  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The following examples show how to use the RSH command.

    1. In this example, the remote system manager previously created
       an entry in the authentication files for remote user STAN on
       host oster giving STAN permission to access user rolly.

       From the local OpenVMS host, user STAN views rolly's
       directory, which resides on UNIX system oster. No quotes are
       required around the user name and host name because RSH by
       default sends them in lowercase.

       $ RSH /USER_NAME=ROLLY OSTER LS

    2. On the following RSH command line, the uppercase UNIX
       qualifier -R is entered within quotation marks to preserve the
       uppercase R. This example assumes that the user's originating
       host and user name are in the authentication files on the
       remote host debts.

       $ RSH DEBTS LS "-R"

    3. The following commands show how RSH sends quotation marks to
       a remote UNIX host and how quotation marks affect case. All
       examples assume that the user's originating host and user name
       are in the authentication files on the remote host.

       $ RSH DEBTS ECHO TEST MESSAGE
       test message

       $ RSH DEBTS ECHO "\""test\"" message"
       "test" message

       $ RSH DEBTS ECHO TEST MESSAGE
       test message

       $ RSH DEBTS ECHO "TEST" MESSAGE
       TEST message

       $ RSH DEBTS "echo '""test"" message'"
       "test" message

    4. Because no remote command is specified on the RSH command
       line, DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS executes RLOGIN.

       $ RSH MOON01 <Return>

       Password:               (password not echoed)<Return>

    5. In this example, the OpenVMS system manager of WR2 previously
       created an entry in the authentication files for remote user
       SIMMS on host WR1.

       From OpenVMS host WR1, user SIMMS enters the DIRECTORY command
       to execute at WR2.

       $ RSH WR2 DIRECTORY

    6. In this example, the OpenVMS system manager of WR2 previously
       created an entry in the authentication files for remote user
       SIMMS on host WR1 allowing SIMMS access to the user name
       ROGERS.

       User SIMMS enters the DIRECTORY command from WR1 to execute at
       WR2 in user account ROGERS.

       $ RSH WR2 /USER=ROGERS DIRECTORY
