command mt

[castro_2]

How can I do this commands to DDS remote?

mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl
mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rew

Is it possible?

Thanks

I think you would need to use remsh: remsh hostname -n mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl

Well, you could do it like this:

remsh remotesystem "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl"
remsh remotesystem "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rew"

Have you try ..
$ mt -f : rew
It may work, just like the GNU version of mt command. Do a man on mt to see if "-f" is supported.

In case that can't I use remsh, because is not avaliable?

Do you want to make 'remsh' available?

Not, because is not permit for security.

There is no way to do directly with the mt command.

If you have ssh installed and configured you can do the following:

# ssh remote_host "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl"

If you don't have ssh and don't allow the r* commands, you are pretty much out of luck.
