Hi

I need to remote rsh to a remote system and need to
set multiple environments then execute the application, because the
application require the environments. The environments setup is
written in a shell script and also I need to set DISPLAY, in order
to open the application windows.
What should I do?

I can rsh to remote system to execute a single application, but not
multiple setup and executions.

Thanks

how about a 'env'  command ?

Regards.

Use ssh with X forwarding, unless the remote system is a prehistoric 
Unix without ssh and without a C compiler, or your pointy-headed boss 
doesn't allow it.

Bill.. but, I think using ssh with X-forwarding is not secure 
enough...please point me to the correct links ..if that is not true.

but I guess SSH with X-forwarding is not good enough..in security terms.

Thanks,

Why do you think ssh is not as secure as rsh?

        Write a shell script that sets the appropriate environment
variables and then invokes the command you want.  Invoke this script with 
'ssh -X hostname /path/to/script'.

        I can't think of a single way that ssh is less secure than rsh.

'r' commands transmit everything in the clear.  X over ssh is as secure
as every other ssh transaction, and is secure enough for financial
transactions over the public internet.

I know of no vulnerabilities, ever, involving X forwarding over ssh.

It doesn't seem like it could be less secure than unencrypted rsh 
combined with unencrypted X.
