executing commands on one host through another

[bos]

I am writing a program now which uses rsh to execute commands on various hosts. I would like to know if the following two things are possible and how.

1. Through a korn shell script, I'd like to run several programs without the shell having to wait for one to complete for the other to start. I'd run the programs on dtterms.

2. As I wrote above, my korn program runs programs on several other computers. Instead of all the programs from the other computers running on one computer, can I have the programs on each computer open dtterms and run there.

Please let me know how I might do any of the two things above. Thanks in advance.

I cant comment on dtterms,but this might help

Create a shell script of all the commands you wantto run on the remote machine. resh onto the machine and copy this file onto the remote machine,resh to change the mode of the shell script file and then resh again to execute the file.

Under the korn shell you can run a process and not wait for it to finish like this:

find / -print > /tmp/all_files.txt &

The & character at the end of the line is the key. Mike
