rsh
[options
]host
[command
]
A BSD-derived command to invoke a remote shell. This command is usually found in
/usr/ucb
and should not be confused with
rsh
, the restricted shell.
rsh
connects to
host
and executes
command
. If
command
is not specified,
rsh
allows you to
rlogin
to
host
. If shell metacharacters need to be interpreted on the remote machine, enclose them in quotes. This command is sometimes called
remsh
.
user
Connect to
host
with a login name of
user
.
Divert input to /dev/null . Sometimes useful when piping rsh to a command that reads standard input but that might terminate before rsh .
