kroc - 10 Jul 2003 - Remote execution: allow to launch a command on a remote computer. It needs two parts: a REXEC client to send the command and a REXEC deamon (server) running on the target computer.
Usage: rexec [ -abcdhns ] -l username -p password host command
-l username: Sets the login name for the remote host.
-p password: Sets the password for the remote host.
-n: Explicitly prompt for name and password.
-a: Do not set up an auxiliary channel for standard error.
-b: Use BSD-rsh type signal handling.
-c: Do not close remote standard in when local input closes
-d: Turn on debugging information.
-h: Print this usage message.
-s: Do not echo signals to the remote process.REXEC must be use very carefully because it could give an unsecured access to a network.
sdx provides a REXEC compatible server.
Usage: rexecd ?options?
-port n Port nunber to listen on (default: 512)
-ipaddr ip Listen address (default: 0.0.0.0, all interfaces)REXEC for linux:
