.Sh NAME
|
||
|
.Nm rcmd
|
||
|
.Nd backend driver for
|
||
|
.Xr rcmd 3
|
||
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
.Op Fl 46dn
|
||
|
.Op Fl l Ar username
|
||
|
.Op Fl p Ar port
|
||
|
.Op Fl u Ar localusername
|
||
|
.Ar host
|
||
|
.Ar command
|
||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
executes
|
||
|
.Ar command
|
||
|
on
|
||
|
.Ar host .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
copies its standard input to the remote command, the standard
|
||
|
output of the remote command to its standard output, and the
|
||
|
standard error of the remote command to its standard error.
|
||
|
Interrupt, quit and terminate signals are propagated to the remote
|
||
|
command;
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
normally terminates when the remote command does.
|
||
|
The options are as follows:
|
||
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
||
|
.It Fl 4
|
||
|
Use IPv4 addresses only.
|
||
|
.It Fl 6
|
||
|
Use IPv6 addresses only.
|
||
|
.It Fl d
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fl d
|
||
|
option turns on socket debugging (using
|
||
|
.Xr setsockopt 2 )
|
||
|
on the
|
||
|
.Tn TCP
|
||
|
sockets used for communication with the remote host.
|
||
|
.It Fl l
|
||
|
By default, the remote username is the same as the local username.
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fl l
|
||
|
option allows the remote name to be specified.
|
||
|
Another possible way to specify the remote username
|
||
|
is the notation
|
||
|
.Ar user@host .
|
||
|
.It Fl n
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fl n
|
||
|
option redirects input from the special device
|
||
|
.Pa /dev/null
|
||
|
(see the
|
||
|
.Sx BUGS
|
||
|
section of this manual page).
|
||
|
.It Fl p Ar port
|
||
|
Uses the given
|
||
|
.Pa port
|
||
|
instead of the one assigned to the service
|
||
|
.Dq shell .
|
||
|
May be given either as symbolic name or as number.
|
||
|
.It Fl u
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fl u
|
||
|
option allows the local username to be specified.
|
||
|
Only the superuser is allowed to use this option.
|
||
|
.El
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted on local machine,
|
||
|
while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote machine.
|
||
|
For example, the command
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
.Dl rcmd otherhost cat remotefile \*[Gt]\*[Gt] localfile
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
appends the remote file
|
||
|
.Ar remotefile
|
||
|
to the local file
|
||
|
.Ar localfile ,
|
||
|
while
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
.Dl rcmd otherhost cat remotefile \&"\*[Gt]\*[Gt]\&" other_remotefile
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
appends
|
||
|
.Ar remotefile
|
||
|
to
|
||
|
.Ar other_remotefile .
|
||
|
.Sh FILES
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
command appeared in
|
||
|
.Nx 1.3
|
||
|
and is primarily derived from
|
||
|
.Xr rsh 1 .
|
||
|
Its purpose was to create a backend driver for
|
||
|
.Xr rcmd 3
|
||
|
that would allow the users of
|
||
|
.Xr rcmd 3
|
||
|
to no longer require super-user privileges.
|
||
|
.Sh BUGS
|
||
|
If you are using
|
||
|
.Xr csh 1
|
||
|
and put a
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
in the background without redirecting its input away from the terminal,
|
||
|
it will block even if no reads are posted by the remote command.
|
||
|
If no input is desired you should redirect the input of
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
to
|
||
|
.Pa /dev/null
|
||
|
using the
|
||
|
.Fl n
|
||
|
option.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
You cannot use
|
||
|
.Nm rcmd
|
||
|
to run an interactive command (like
|
||
|
.Xr rogue 6
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.Xr vi 1 ) .
|
||
|
Use
|
||
|
.Xr rlogin 1
|
||
|
instead.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The stop signal,
|
||
|
.Dv SIGSTOP ,
|
||
|
will stop the local
|
||
|
.Nm
|
||
|
process only.
|
||
|
This is arguably wrong, but currently hard to fix for reasons
|
||
|
too complicated to explain here.
