VMS Help RSH, Qualifiers  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

1 - /EIGHTBIT

    Optional. Default: only 7-bit data is sent.

    Accepts 8-bit data from the terminal and sends it to the remote
    system.

2 - /ESCAPE_CHARACTER

       /ESCAPE_CHARACTER=character

    Optional. Default: ~ (tilde).

    New RLOGIN escape character. This character lets you exit the
    RLOGIN process without typing the remote host's typical logout
    sequence, for example, LOGOUT or Ctrl/D.

    Typing the escape character and a period (.) breaks the
    connection with the remote host, for example:

    remote> ~. (characters not echoed)

    %RSH-S-LCLCLOSED, Local connection closed
    local_vms>

3 - /LOG_FILE

       /LOG_FILE=file

    Optional. Default: no logging.

    Logs a copy of the output to the specified file. Output continues
    to be directed to SYS$OUTPUT while it is being recorded in the
    log file.

    Not valid with /SYSERROR.

4 - /LOWERCASE

       /LOWERCASE
       /NOLOWERCASE

    Optional. Default: /LOWERCASE.

    Sends your local user name to the remote host in lowercase.

    To send your user name in uppercase, use either of the following
    ways:

    o  Specify /NOLOWERCASE.

    o  Enclose the user name in quotation marks ( " " ). (See /USER_
       NAME.)

    To send your user name in mixed case, enclose it in quotation
    marks ( " " ).

5 - /PASSWORD

       /PASSWORD[=password]

    Optional.

    Your password on the remote host.

    Invokes the local REXEC facility that directs your RSH command
    to the REXEC server on the remote host. This server does
    authentication checking using the user name and password that
    you specified on the RSH command line.

    o  Enclose the password in quotation marks ( " " ) if it is
       lowercase or mixed case.

    o  If you omit password, RSH (REXEC) prompts you for one.

    o  Do not use this qualifier if you want to initiate an RLOGIN
       session.

    Directs diagnostics to SYS$ERROR and output to SYS$OUTPUT.

    When SYS$ERROR and SYS$OUTPUT both output to the same terminal,
    the output might be garbled.

    /NOSYSERROR directs output only to SYS$OUTPUT.

6 - /TERMINAL_SPEED

       /TERMINAL_SPEED=n

    Optional. Default: your terminal's current speed.

    Terminal speed passed to the remote host during an RLOGIN
    session.

7 - /TERMINAL_TYPE

       /TERMINAL_TYPE=type

    Optional. Default: your terminal's current type.

    Terminal type passed to the remote host during an RLOGIN session.

8 - /TRUNCATE_USER_NAME

       /TRUNCATE_USER_NAME
       /NOTRUNCATE_USER_NAME

    Optional. Default: /NOTRUNCATE_USER_NAME.

    Abbreviates the user name sent to the remote host to eight
    characters (required for older UNIX hosts, which limit user names
    to eight characters).

9 - /USER_NAME

       /USER_NAME=remote_user_name
       -l remote_user_name (UNIX style, valid only on UNIX systems)

    Optional. Default: same name on local host, but in lowercase.

    Your user name on the remote host. Specify this qualifier if your
    user names on the remote host and local host are different.

    To send your user name in uppercase, use either of the following
    ways:

    o  Specify /NOLOWERCASE.

    o  Enclose the user name in quotation marks ( " " ).

    To send your user name in mixed case, enclose it in quotation
    marks ( " " ).
