Inserting a Text Entry Into a File Via rsh

[Michael42]

On a network composed of Solaris 8 workstations I need to insert an entry into a file that resides on all of them.

I tried this on one host: rsh hostx echo mytextentry >> /nsr/res/servers

Though I have confirmed rsh is working correctly on the host I am trying to rsh to, the entry is not being added.

How can I do this?

Thanks for your suggestions,
Michael

You'll probably find it's been added to that file on the host you're running the rsh command from. Try:

[tt]rsh hostx "echo mytextentry >> /nsr/res/servers"[/tt]

Without quoting the command the >> redirection would have been interpreted by your current shell, not the one that was run on the remote system. Annihilannic.

Yes thanks again (and again) Annihilannic! Michael
