        +- -p processortype -+


DESCRIPTION

The anet command executes command on each site in the cluster, and then waits
for each occurrence of command to finish execution.  command is run
concurrently at all sites.  In a heterogeneous environment command will be
executed on all sites with an available load module.  On each site the command
is re-evaluated to select a load module.  If command begins with a '/' then a
load module will be available if a load module of the appropriate type can be
selected by using command as the file name of the load module.  If command does
not begin with a '/' then the environment is examined for the 'PATH' variable
and a shell-like expansion is done on command using the PATH environment
variable.  If this results in a load module file of the appropriate type for
the specified machine, then the command will be run on the selected machine.

When the command is executed the <LOCAL> alias is set to the local alias of the
selected site.  Use the -p option to run the command only on sites of the
specified processor type.

Processor type is one of the following:

   i386 - selects all AIX PS/2 sites.

   i370 - selects all AIX/370 sites.

   xa370 - selects all xa AIX/370 sites.

   s370 - selects all non-xa370 AIX/370 sites.

DIAGNOSTICS

The anet command silently ignores sites which are down.  The exit status of
anet is the number of up sites for which command could not be successfully
executed.
