- SunOS and some other UNIX's have an 'rcmd' command, which does:
-
- rcmd - run a remote command in the background, without
- stdin, stdout, stderr.
-
-
- This works well from Sun to Sun, to do things like run xload from
- a remote system and display it on your local one. Good for people
- who need to watch one or more remote systems load.
-
- When using 'rcmd' to remotely execute commands on an RS/6000 running
- AIX 3.2.3, however, you get *two* instantiations of your command.
- For example, the following command generates two info displays on
- the local display:
-
- rcmd aixhost info -l techlib
-
- You can kill off one of them, leaving the other working just fine.
- Kinda a bother.
