Allows commands to be executed in a remote environment.
Description |
 |
After you have established a remote environment (session)
on a node, the REMOTE command allows you to issue
commands in that remote environment. Because you can have several
remote environments on a node at the same time, you use the REMOTE
command along with a unique environment ID to specify one of several
remote environments. If you issue REMOTE commands
without specifying an envID or envnum,
the default environment (the one most recently invoked) will be
used.

|
 | NOTE: If an RPM-created process is already executing in a
remote environment, you cannot issue a REMOTE
command for that environment. |
|

If a command parameter is included
in the REMOTE command line, the
remote operating system executes it and restores control to the
local operating system. The local prompt reappears on your terminal
screen. For example, at the MPE/iX prompt (which is shown for clarity),
type the following command (user input is bold):
:REMOTE LISTF **default environment**
.
.**list of file names from
.**remote environment appears**
: **local prompt reappears** |
If no command parameter is specified,
a remote prompt is issued and the remote operating system retains
control. You can then send commands to the remote system by entering
them at this prompt without a preliminary REMOTE.
The remote prompt reappears after the execution of each command
until you enter a colon (:) at
the remote prompt. This restores the local MPE/iX prompt, at which
you can issue a subsequent REMOTE
command or a local command. Suppose that the remote prompt is ENV1#.
At the local MPE/iX prompt (which is shown for clarity), type the
following commands (user input is bold):
:REMOTE**default environment already set to ENV1#**
ENV1#LISTF**executed in the remote environment**
.**list of file names from node ENV1 appears**
.
ENV1#:**typing a colon (:) restores the local prompt**
:REMOTE BYE |
You can configure your own remote prompt (1 to 8 characters)
by using the DSLINE ;PROMPT= option.
If you wish to receive the remote system's local prompt
(for instance, a colon [:]), specify DSLINE ;PROMPT=
without a prompt string. Following is an example of a user-specified
prompt (the local and remote prompts are shown for clarity, and
user input is underlined):
:DSLINE SPOTS;PROMPT=VPRES>**default environment**
:REMOTE **now set to node SPOTS
MPE /iX-SPOTS:HELLO NSUSER.NSACCT |
If you use the MPE/iX SETVAR HPPROMPT command
to set a system prompt to anything other than a colon, then that
prompt will override any prompt created by the DSLINE ;PROMPT=
option. Details on use of the SETVAR command
are in the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual.
If you use SETVAR HPPROMPT,
then leave the remote session and return to it, the remote system's
prompt will be displayed until you press [Return].
In the following example, user input is underlined, and the local
and remote MPE/iX prompts are shown for clarity:
:REMOTE REMENV HELLO USER.ACCT
:REMOTE
REMENV#SETVAR HPPROMPT "XYZ>>"
XYZ>>**new prompt replaces REMENV#**
XYZ>>:**colon (:) returns you to local session**
:REMOTE**to return to remote**
REMENV# [Return]**default prompt orients you**
XYZ>>>**returns to prompt set by SETVAR
HPPROMPT** |
