CRP (CREATE_A_PROCESS) -- Create a process on a remote node.
usage:  CRP [command line] {-ON node_id | -MBX name} [-CP|-CPO |-CPS]
                           [-N [name] | -NWP | -LOGIN name [password] ]


FORMAT

  CRP {-ON node_id | -MBX name} [options]

  CRP creates a process on a remote node.


ARGUMENT

  command line
  (optional)           Specify command line to be executed by the remote
                       process.  If the command string contains embedded
                       blanks, enclose it in quotation marks.
                       Default if omitted: execute /COM/SH (the Shell).


OPTIONS

  One of the following options which specifies the remote node MUST be used:

  -ON node_id          Specify either hexadecimal node_id or entry directory
                       name of any volume on the selected remote node.

  -MBX name            Specify server's mailbox name on selected remote node.

  One of the following options may be specified (default option is indicated
  by a "(D)"):

  -CP              (D) Create a remote process running with standard streams
                       connected to the current window.  Not valid if -CPO
                       or -CPS is specified.  You may stop these processes by
                       typing an EEF (usually CTRL/Z) in the process input
                       pad.

  -CPO                 Create a remote process without a connection to the
                       current window, and an identity of 'user.none.none'.
                       Not valid if -CP or -CPS is specified.  To stop these
                       processes, you must first create a visible remote
                       process running the Shell, then issue the SIGP command
                       to stop the background process.

  -CPS                 Create a remote process without a connection to the
                       current window, and an identity of 'user.server.none'.
                       Not valid if -CP or -CPO is specified.  To stop these
                       processes, you must first create a visible remote
                       process running the Shell, then issue the SIGP command
                       to stop the background process.

  -NWP                 Do not create a window pane legend indicating that the
                       local window is connected to a remote process.
                       Use with -CP option only.

  -N [name]            Specify the name of the remote process.  If name is not
                       specified, the default is the user id.node_id.  This
                       allows remote processes to be traced to their originator.

  -LOGIN name [password]
                       Specify the login sequence for the remote process on
                       the command line. If the password is omitted, the
                       system prompts you for it.  A null (zero length)
                       password is specified by the null string ''.

EXAMPLE

  $ crp -on 532 -login joe       Create a process on node 532 running the
                                  Shell, and log in with the user id "joe".
