- Yes, DECnet Transparent Task to Task communication. Briefly, create a command
- procedure on the remote node that has the commands that you want to execute.
- Then from the local node:
-
- $ TYPE NODE"USER PASSWORD"::"TASK=comfilename"
-
- The comfilename is the filename of the command procedure you created in step
- one (minus the .com extension). If you have proxies set up you can omit the
- "USER PASSWORD" portion above.
-
- This is documented in the Guide to DECnet-VAX Networking page 2-14.
