NAME

cpu − execute a remote command

SYNOPSIS

cpu [ -C alg ] [net!]host [ command [ arg... ] ]

DESCRIPTION

Cpu dials host (using network tcp if net is not given), exports the local namespace and executes the given command on that machine. The local namespace is visible to the command in /n/client; local device files are bound into the remote device directory.  If command is not given, then /dis/sh is run. 

The -C option sets the algorithm to be used following authentication for digesting or encryption, to alg. See ssl(3) for the supported algorithms. The default is none: ssl(3) is not used after authentication.

BUGS

Although the draw device files are visible to the remote command, the current implementation of Tk means that windowing applications cannot receive events when run remotely. This will be fixed in a future release.
