Use the REXEC feature to send a command to execute on a remote host that does not have, or might not have, the authentication information that RSH requires. The remote system's authentication files are not used. Along with the remote command, REXEC sends the password you specify on the command line to the remote host. This password is used for security checking. The Remote Shell program (RSH) invokes REXEC. To use REXEC, enter RSH /PASSWORD. REXEC then functions like the RSH command.

The following example shows how to provide password information for the RSH command, thereby invoking the REXEC feature on the remote host. From host GRANT, user STANTON enters the file tops.holdings that resides on UNIX host oster. Because STANTON is not listed in oster's authentication files, user STANTON must use the REXEC feature and supply the /USER_NAME and /PASSWORD qualifiers. Quotation marks are required around the password because it contains uppercase letters. $ RSH OSTER /USER_NAME=STANTON /PASSWORD="KeepingSaneJoy" - _$ CAT TOPS.HOLDINGS
