Previous: Examples:
With the rexec command you can execute a command on every
remote UNIX host you have an account on, regardless if they are made
equivalent or not with the rhosts mechanism.
The rexec command works in the same way as remsh
does, the only difference is that you will be prompted for your
name and password on the remote host.
rexec hostname command
You can try the examples from the last section on remsh with one
disadvantage:
If you use unquoted I/O redirection the authentification prompts do not
work properly; you will not see the prompts but you can type in your
username and password ``blindly''.
