regarding remote commands

[vind123]

I want to run a ls -ltr or mv command in an remote unix machine from my unix machine and get the output of it. How do i do it? Is there any config files setting needs to be made

Hi,
depends on your setup.

The simplest is to add your details to a .rhosts file et al in the accounts home directory on the remote machine and then use remsh (See man remsh)

or get ssh

Hi

you can configure the .rhosts and try remsh command

remsh servername "ls -lrt"

or you can try to implement ssh also

Hi vind,

Create .rhosts file in user home directory.
check rlogin is working without password.
Once you are able to login using rlogin without password,you can run remsh command

#remsh remotehost ls

Thanks a lot for the info
I want to do the below two unix commands in remote machine
ls -ltr
mv test.out /tmp/test.out

I gave the below way but it's not working
remsh inky -l fcc ls -tr ;mv test.out /tmp/test.out

The second move command is not getting executed in the remote machine. How do i run mulitple unix commands with remsh.

Hi,
multiple commands:

remsh inky -l fcc -n "ls -tr ;mv test.out /tmp/test.out"

see man remsh

It is very important to note that your local shell will process many special characters until you escape them (remove their special meaning). The semicolon ; essentailly terminates the current remsh commandline and starts another process on your local machine. So you must enclose the entire command line for the remote machine in single quotes. For instance, these two commands have very different results:

remsh inky grep err /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log > /tmp/errors

remsh inky 'grep err /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log > /tmp/errors'

In the first example, the > is a special character and takes whatever remsh displays and puts into /tmp/errors on your local computer. The second example stores the errors file on the remote computer.
