I took the new version and tested it. Seems to run into problems rather soon:


        : RUN REMSH; info="felix -l chris uname -a"

Works great, no sweat. Now something a little more daring :

        : RUN REMSH; info="felix -l chris ls -l"

This hangs forever, although there are only 112 files to display. I aborted it after some
5 minutes (I'm not being impatient, am I ... ?)
So what can be the snag here ?

(sob) I for one have been _craving_ for a remshd for a long time ! There was a version
on Jazz but it did not work, as other on this list reported.

If I really want to
integrate the 3k with other machines I should be able to initiate commands/jobs on the 3k
from other machines, like we do on other servers. I've been kludging with vt3k but
that's so ugly... Why oh why is remshd dropped ? Will it ever be supported ? Offering
remsh without remshd seems like on of these half mesaures again to me.

Pleez, HP ?
