Interrupt, quit and terminate signals are propagated to the remote command; rsh normally terminates when the remote command does. The options are as follows:
If no command is specified, you will be logged in on the remote host using rlogin(1). Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted on local machine, while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote machine. For example, the command
rsh otherhost cat remotefile >> localfile appends the remote file remotefile to the local file localfile while
rsh otherhost cat remotefile ">>" other_remotefile appends remotefile to other_remotefile FILES
SEE ALSOrlogin(1), kerberos(3), krb_sendauth3, krb_realmofhost3HISTORYThe rsh command appeared in BSD 4.2BUGSIf you are using csh(1) and put a rsh 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 rsh to /dev/null using the -n option.You cannot run an interactive command (like rogue(6) or vi(1)) using rsh use rlogin(1) instead. Stop signals stop the local rsh process only; this is arguably wrong, but currently hard to fix for reasons too complicated to explain here.
