1.1       root        1: RSH(1)                     UNIX Reference Manual                       RSH(1)
                      2: 
                      3: NNAAMMEE
                      4:      rrsshh - remote shell
                      5: 
                      6: SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
                      7:      _r_s_h [--KKddnn] [--kk _r_e_a_l_m] [--ll _u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e] _h_o_s_t [command]
                      8: 
                      9: DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
                     10:      RRsshh executes _c_o_m_m_a_n_d on _h_o_s_t.
                     11: 
                     12:      RRsshh copies its standard input to the remote command, the standard output
                     13:      of the remote command to its standard output, and the standard error of
                     14:      the remote command to its standard error. Interrupt, quit and terminate
                     15:      signals are propagated to the remote command; rrsshh normally terminates
                     16:      when the remote command does.  The options are as follows:
                     17: 
                     18:      --KK        The --KK option turns off all Kerberos authentication.
                     19: 
                     20:      --dd        The --dd option turns on socket debugging (using setsockopt(2))
                     21:               on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host.
                     22: 
                     23:      --kk        The --kk option causes rrsshh to obtain tickets for the remote host
                     24:               in _r_e_a_l_m instead of the remote host's realm as determined by
                     25:               krb_realmofhost(3).
                     26: 
                     27:      --ll        By default, the remote username is the same as the local user-
                     28:               name.  The --ll option allows the remote name to be specified.
                     29:               Kerberos authentication is used, and authorization is deter-
                     30:               mined as in rlogin(1).
                     31: 
                     32:      --nn        The --nn option redirects input from the special device /_d_e_v/_n_u_l_l
                     33:               (see the BUGS section of this manual page).
                     34: 
                     35:      If no _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is specified, you will be logged in on the remote host us-
                     36:      ing rlogin(1).
                     37: 
                     38:      Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted on local
                     39:      machine, while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote
                     40:      machine.  For example, the command
                     41: 
                     42:           rsh otherhost cat remotefile >> localfile
                     43: 
                     44:      appends the remote file _r_e_m_o_t_e_f_i_l_e to the local file _l_o_c_a_l_f_i_l_e, while
                     45: 
                     46:           rsh otherhost cat remotefile ">>" other_remotefile
                     47: 
                     48:      appends _r_e_m_o_t_e_f_i_l_e to _o_t_h_e_r__r_e_m_o_t_e_f_i_l_e.
                     49: 
                     50: FFIILLEESS
                     51:      /_e_t_c/_h_o_s_t_s
                     52: 
                     53: 
                     54: SSEEEE AALLSSOO
                     55:      rlogin(1), kerberos(3), krb_sendauth(3), krb_realmofhost(3)
                     56: 
                     57: HHIISSTTOORRYY
                     58:      RRsshh appeared in 4.2 BSD
                     59: 
                     60: BBUUGGSS
                     61:      If you are using csh(1) and put a rrsshh in the background without redirect-
                     62:      ing its input away from the terminal, it will block even if no reads are
                     63:      posted by the remote command.  If no input is desired you should redirect
                     64:      the input of rrsshh to /_d_e_v/_n_u_l_l using the --nn option.
                     65: 
                     66: 
                     67:      You cannot run an interactive command (like rogue(6) or vi(1)) using rrsshh;
                     68:      use rlogin(1) instead.
                     69: 
                     70:      Stop signals stop the local rrsshh process only; this is arguably wrong, but
                     71:      currently hard to fix for reasons too complicated to explain here.
