Administering REXEC

Linking services to REXEC

Administration of REXEC on a client machine is simply a matter of installing the REXEC software.

You may choose, however, to create links from the rexec command to the REXEC services defined on a remote machine. The rexec command is the user interface to the REXEC facility. When you link services to rexec, your users can enter abbreviated commands to invoke a remote service.

The standard REXEC services are linked to the rexec command by default when the software is installed. If a user wants to run rquery on a server named sftig, for example, the user enters

rquery sftig

With the link removed, the user enters

rexec sftig rquery

For information about creating and removing hard or symbolic links, see ln(1).
