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".
