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
