su to root on your local machine before remsh to the remote machine

Re: remsh, then su to root

sorry, forgot to add. root cannot remsh.

/etc/profile looks for "console" in tty. if not console, connection is dropped.

Re: remsh, then su to root

I have not directly used a su to root, but have made use of a product called sudo, and used this method to execute commands as root.

perhaps
remsh host -n 'sudo /sbin/init.d/XXXXXX start'

or perhaps

remsh host -n shutdown -ry 0

There is loads on sudo on the website.
