Hi folks,

thanks..

If you have login access setup on the second system, you can run "rksh" on the first system to do it, or you can "rlogin" to the second system as well.

run "man rksh" and "man rlogin" for more information.

use the remsh command

server a script
remsh server_b script2

You need .rhosts file in the home directory of the user that will be running this on BOTH machines

/home/user/.rhosts

the file will look like this

servera userid
serverb userid

The secure shell version would be:

ssh hostname "shellscript.sh"

This ofcourse would be where hostname is trusted to your localhost by a .shosts or key encryption trust.

I would recommend ssh over the r commands for security reasons.

Happy scripting,

Hi,

You can use the 'remsh' command. See man remsh for more information. You need to have the /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts files setup for doing this.

Hi:

Have a look at the man pages for 'remsh' (man remsh) and for 'remshd' (man 1M remshd). Pay particular attention to the '/etc/hosts.equiv' and '$HOME/.rhost' file discussion.

Regards!

HI
Remsh and Rexec commands will help you run command on remote machines as long as .rhosts file allows you to run it.

#remsh "/usr/bin/bdf"

Thanks.
Prashant.

I'm with Craig -- ssh is definately better than remsh for most all these types of things, and is easy to set up, and works even if nis is not set up in your environment.

Hi,

You can get OpenSSH from one of the HPUX software porting centers. I use: http://hpux.cs.utah.edu
