Remote Shell !

Karunanidhi.S — Thu, 16 Nov 2000 14:53:38 GMT

Hi all !
I want to start a process in remote machine using "remsh". But the catch is, even if I close the shell (or kill the shell)from which I start the process, the process should continue to run in the remote machine. Is that possible ? Your inputs please....

Regards,
S.Karunanidhi.

Don't know if this will help, but can you try to do it in the background?
i.e.

remsh &

Try using "nohup" (no hang up).
The -n option to "remsh" could also be valuable

nohup should be used otherwise your process will be orphaned at exit

you can perform your request like this:

in the .rhosts on the user (remote one) home directory in the remote machine on which you are trying to start your process, add :

local_hostname username

then type:

remsh remote_machine -n "command " &

Why don't you create a script file and put this into the crontab

Not only is it possible, but I highly recommend that if you start a process on a remote machine which is going to take any length of time that you add the keyword - nohup.

whatever string you use to start the command on the remote machine, preface it with the nohup command and it will ignore all normal interruptions.

Hope that helps!
