Last time I asked how to use the rpc routines on the SUN. I got a few responses, suggesting that I fork and exec rsh machine some_command However, I had wanted to avoid invoking the rsh, and call the rpc routines directly. Can someone please show me how to set up and use the rexec(3N) routines to execute a command on a remote machine? I've tried to set up a client socket, bind to a remote port address, and make the rexec() call, but I haven't gotten too far. (It may be that my port address is way off; I've been using the last digit of the network address entry in the /etc/hosts file. How do you get the proper port number of a remote machine?) Please include an example or code fragment, if you would. TIA Carl cotner@bosco.Berkeley.EDU
