Using the Network Interface
Executing Remote Commands
Remote program execution
You can execute a single command on a remote machine without
having to log in, provided that you have the necessary privileges. The
command syntax is as follows:
% rsh sysname command
For example, to list the files in
/home
on the machine called burgundy
you would type the following:
% rsh burgundy ls /home
SLIP and PPP
When your SPARCbook is connected to a remote network via a SLIP
or PPP connection, most of the commands that can be used when
directly attached to the local network can still be used. This means that
the network printer can be used and mail may be sent from your
SPARCbook. Care should be taken when disconnecting a SLIP or PPP
connection that SLIP or PPP data transfers are complete. Information
will be lost if the interface is detached while a transfer is in progress.
