- A long time ago I got an MPW tool called rShell. The accompanying
- README says it was written by Derek White, Apple Computer, Inc. ATG
- East/Columbia. The description of the tool is:
-
- rShell is an MPW tool that sends commands to a Unix host, and can
- upload/download text files. It requires a Macintosh with EtherTalk
- and MacTCP installed. rShell allows users of MPW to automate simple
- Unix tasks as part of an MPW task. For instance remote YACC service,
- table downloads, backups, etc. rShell supports the Commando
- interface.
-
- But, when I try it, I get confusing errors:
- rshell -Host rhino -User jabberwo -password *** "ls"
- ### rshell - "-Host" is not an option.
- ### rshell - "-User" is not an option.
- ### rshell - "-password" is not an option.
- ### rshell - Too many parameters were specified.
- #Usage - rshell [-f|-b|-r target] [-q] [-y|-n] [-c number] [-k number]
- [-sync] [command]
-
- These errors make me think the Readme does not go with the tool!
- Anyone know of a current rShell, or other tool, that does the above
- advertised communication with Unix?
