- remote [-p <port>] [-k <key>] [-a <kickaddr>] <host> kick | exit | reset
-
- Send a UDP packet to the specified host commanding it to exit
- NOS, reset the processor, or force a retransmission on TCP
- connections.
-
- For this command to be accepted, the remote system must be
- running the remote server. Also, the port number specified in
- the remote command must match the port number given when the
- server was started on the remote system.
-
- If the port numbers do not match, or if the remote server is not
- running on the target system, the command packet is ignored.
-
- Even if the command is accepted there is no acknowledgement.
-
- The 'kick' subcommand forces a retransmission timeout on all TCP
- connections that the remote node may have with the local node.
-
- If the '-a' option is used, connections to the specified host are
- kicked instead. No key is required when using the 'kick'
- subcommand.
-
- The 'exit' and 'reset' subcommands are mainly useful for
- restarting NOS on a remote unattended system after the
- configuration file has been updated. The remote system should
- invoke NOS automatically upon booting, preferably in an infinite
- loop.
-
-
- remote -s [<key>]
- The 'exit' and 'reset' subcommands of 'remote' require a
- password. The password is set on a given system with the '-s'
- option, and it is specified in a command to a remote system with
- the '-k' option.
-
- If no password is set with the '-s' option, then the 'exit' and
- 'reset' subcommands are disabled.
-
- Note that 'remote' is an experimental feature in NOS; it is not
- yet supported by any other TCP/IP implementation, although a
- version of the remote command for BSD Unix exists.
