Name
rsh
Synopsis
rsh [options]host[command]
Execute command on remote host, or, if no command is specified, begin an interactive shell on the remote host using rlogin. The options can be specified before or after host. Use of rsh has generally been replaced with ssh, which offers better security.
Options
- -d
Enable socket debugging.
- -l username
Attempt to log in as username. By default, the name of the user executing rsh is used.
- -n
Redirect the input to rsh from the special device /dev/null. (This should be done when backgrounding rsh from a shell prompt, to direct the input away from the terminal.)
