NAME

rcmd − remote command execution

SYNOPSIS

­rcmd [ ­-C ­cryptoalg ] ­host [ ­cmd ­arg ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

­Rcmd executes ­cmd on the given host. If no ­cmd is given, sh(1) is assumed. The ­host must have enabled the ­rstyx service (typically started via srv(8)).

For authentication, ­rcmd will use the certificate in the file

/usr/username/keyring/net!machine

if it exists, and otherwise it will use the certificate in

/usr/username/keyring/default. 

The ­-C option sets the algorithm ­cryptoalg to be used following authentication for digesting or encryption.  See ssl(3) for the supported algorithms. The default is none: ssl(3) is not used after authentication.
