rexd(NADM)


rexd -- RPC-based remote execution server

Syntax

/etc/rexd

Description

rexd is the Sun RPC server for remote program execution. For non-interactive programs, the standard file descriptors are connected directly to TCP connections. Interactive programs involve pseudo-terminals, similar to the login sessions provided by rlogin(TC). This daemon may use NFS to mount filesystems specified in the remote execution request.

If enabled, rexd is stopped and started by rpcinit(NADM).

Diagnostics

Diagnostic messages are normally printed on the console and returned to the requester.

Files
