rpipe(1) CLIX rpipe(1)
NAME
rpipe - Runs a remote pipe command
SYNOPSIS
rpipe host.user[.[password]] command-list
DESCRIPTION
The rpipe command is a utility which transfers data to a command executing
on a remote system with a pipe.
The host.user[.[password]] argument uses the same syntax as that for fmu.
The user is placed in the user's home directory on host, and all commands
executed have the same user and group ID as user on host. The stdin given
to the command-list executed on host is stdin from rpipe.
EXAMPLES
The following example copies the directory tree src from the local machine
to the remote host ipro3, under the directory /usr/test.
find src -print | cpio -ovB | rpipe ipro3.sys "cd /usr/test; cpio -idumB"
NOTES
The stdout and stderr of command-list are not echoed back to the user.
CAUTIONS
Characters with special meanings to the shell, like (,) and (;) must be
quoted.
