FORMAT

  CRP creates a process on a remote node.


ARGUMENTS

  command line
  (optional)          Specify command line to be executed by the remote process.
                     If the command string contains embedded blanks, enclose  it
                     in quotation marks.

                     Default if omitted:  execute /COM/SH (the Shell).


OPTIONS

  One of the following options which specifies the remote node MUST be used:

  -ON node_id         Specify either hexadecimal node_id or entry directory name
                     of any volume on the selected remote node.

  -MBX name          Specify server's mailbox name on selected remote node.

  One of the following options may be specified (default option is indicated  by
  a "(D)"):

  -CP          (D)    Create  a  remote  process  running  with standard streams
                     connected to the current window.  Not valid if -CPO or -CPS
                     is specified.  You may stop these processes  by  typing  an
                     EEF (usually CTRL/Z) in the process input pad.

  -CPO               Create a remote process without a connection to the current
                     window,  and an identity of 'user.none.none'.  Not valid if
                     -CP or -CPS is specified.  To  stop  these  processes,  you
                     must  first  create  a  visible  remote process running the
                     Shell, then issue the SIGP command to stop  the  background
                     process.

  -CPS               Create a remote process without a connection to the current
                     window,  and  an identity of 'user.server.none'.  Not valid
                     if -CP or -CPO is specified.  To stop these processes,  you
                     must  first  create  a  visible  remote process running the
                     Shell, then issue the SIGP command to stop  the  background
                     process.

  -NWP                Do  not  create  a  window pane legend indicating that the
                     local window is connected to a remote process.    Use  with
                     -CP option only.

  -N [name]           Specify  the  name  of the remote process.  If name is not
                     specified, the default is the user id.node_id.  This allows
                     remote processes to be traced to their originator.

  -LOGIN name [password]
                     Specify the login sequence for the remote  process  on  the
                     command  line.  If  the  password  is  omitted,  the system
                     prompts you for it.   A  null  (zero  length)  password  is
                     specified by the null string ''.


EXAMPLES

  $ crp -on 532 -login joe    Create a process on node 532 running the
                               Shell, and log in with the user id "joe".
