- I would like to use the vxworks rcmd() function to start a program on a unix host
- (in the background). The program on the host will use sockets etc. to
- communicate with the original vxworks program that started it. I am trying to
- automate a sequence of actions ie: logginh on to the unix host, starting the
- program, loging on to vxworks, starting a program, etc. I would like to set the
- whole thing up so that when my vxworks program is started it will automaticaly
- start any other programs needed on any other host.
-
- The problem I am having is the rcmd() documentation realy doesn't tell me
- anything. I am unsure of the syntax, parameters and calling sequence. There are
- no examples for me to follow.
-
- Has anybody used this function? Could you send me some hints or examples.
-
- I would greatly apreciate hearing from anybody out there.
-
- Thanks in advance.
