Name
rexec
Synopsis
rexec [options]rhost command
Execute commands remotely. This client program connects to a remote host running rexecd, and passes it command. It uses a login name and password for authentication. These can be passed on the command line using the options below, provided through the $HOME/.netrc file or the environment variables REXEC_USER and REXEC_PASS. If it cannot determine the username and password, rexec prompts the user for the information. Note that because rexec sends passwords to the remote system in cleartext, you should use it only on a secure network. See ssh for a more secure alternative.
Options
- -a
Send both error messages and output to standard output.
- -b
When received locally, only echo signals SIGINT, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM to the remote process.
- -c
