Workstation Administration
This example copies the file temp_vi from the remote machine named puppy to a
file with the same name on a remote machine named sting in the user’s home
directory on each machine.
xcp -r -v sting:/usr/include/* localinclude
This command is an example of recursive copying. It copies all files and
directories from /usr/include on the remote machine sting to the directory
localinclude on the local host. The -v option prints the names of the files it
creates.
xx runs commands on a remote host. Like xcp , this command assumes that
the user has accounts under the same user name on both the remote and local
host.
The
xx command takes the command to be executed as an argument. For
example, to find the load average on another machine, enter this command:
xx
hostname
uptime
xlogin initiates a login on a remote host across the network. The command
takes the remote host name as an argument. For example, to log in remotely to
a host with the name olympus , enter this command:
xlogin olympus
login:

4.3.2 TCP/IP Network Commands
This section describes the commands for communicating over an Ethernet local
area network using TCP/IP. You must be running the TCP/IP kernel to use
TCP/IP communications (See Section 4.3.3 below).
Each computer to be accessed with the network communication tools must
have a unique name. The file /etc/hosts contains these names. (See the
documentation that accompanies the network software for more information.)
To communicate over an TCP/IP Ethernet local area network, the IRIS
workstation uses five commands:
rcp Copies a file from one computer running U
nix
to another
computer running U
nix
