Switches control to the Command Interpreter of the remote system, once an environment has been established on a remote node. (CM) SYNTAX {* REMOTE *} REMOTE [<envid>] [<command>] [<envnum>] Allows commands to be executed in a remote environment. SYNTAX {* REMOTE HELLO *} [ {<envid>} ] REMOTE [<envinfo>]<logon>[;DSLINE={[<envid>=]<nodename>}] [ {<envnum>} ] [<envid> ] <envinfo> may be = [[<envid>=]<nodename>] [<envnum> ] Creates a session on a remote node. PARAMETERS {* REMOTE *} <envid> The environment id represents an established session on the remote node. This environment id may be an actual node name. The default environment is the one most recently referenced in a DSLINE or REMOTE command. <envnum> The number of the environment assigned when the environment was defined. This environment number is listed in the message returned after a DSLINE command. <command> A command which is to be executed in the remote environment; for example an MPE command to be executed on a remote HP 3000. PARAMETERS {* REMOTE HELLO *} <envid> An environment id, a character string that represents a specific session on a remote node. The environment name it- self may be qualified <envname>[.<domain>[.<organization>]]. Each portion of the string may have a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters, beginning with a letter. The characters "-" and "_" are also allowed. The default <domain> and <organization> names are those specified for your local node when it was configured as part of the NS network. If the <envid> is not equated with a node name, it must refer to a predefined environment. If it is equated to a node name, it then represents a session on that node. If the <nodename> is used by itself, it then is its own environment id, representing a particular session on that node. If <envid>, <nodename>, and <envnum> are all omitted in the beginning of the command line (before HELLO), the environment information must be given in the DSLINE= option of the command line or the default environment will be assumed. The default environment for a REMOTE command is the one most recently referenced in a DSLINE or REMOTE command. <nodename> If the communications link to the remote system is an NS link, <nodename> is the name assigned to the remote node when it was configured into the NS network. This name may optionally be qualified in the form <node>[.<domain> [.<organization]]>. The default <domain> and <organization> are those of the local node. Each portion of this string may have a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters, of which the first must be alphabetic. The characters "-" and "_" are also allowed. An environment id may be equated with this node name, or the node name (if used alone) may become its own environment id. In either case the environment id then represents a specific remote session on this node. DEFAULT The environment specified by the last DSLINE or REMOTE command. <envnum> The number of the environment assigned when the environment was defined. This is the environment number that is displayed after a DSLINE command is issued. <logon> A valid logon sequence for the remote node, in the form HELLO <user>.<account>[,<group>]. DSLINE= Defines an environment if one is not specified immediately after REMOTE. The parameters are used in the same way as they are after REMOTE (or as they are used in a DSLINE command). OPERATION {* REMOTE *} REMOTE allows you to issue commands in a remote environment once that environment is established on the remote node. The local terminal appears to be directly connected to the remote machine. The REMOTE command enables you to specify one of several remote environments. If your local system is connected to a remote node by means of an NS link, you can have several remote sessions on that node at the same time; each session must have a unique environment id. REMOTE commands without <envid> or <envnum> assume the default environment, the one most recently referenced. For sessions accessed over NS links, you can configure your own remote prompt (1-8 characters) by using the DSLINE ;PROMPT= option. In order to receive the normal prompt for the remote system (""), you must specify PROMPT= without a prompt string in the DSLINE command. Otherwise, the default prompt will be the <envid>#, where <envid> is the first seven characters of the environment id. OPERATION {* REMOTE HELLO *} The REMOTE HELLO command creates a session on a remote node. If the remote environment (session) is not already defined by a previous DSLINE (or REMOTE) command, you can specify environment information in the following ways o include environment information in the "DSLINE=" portion of the remote command. o include environment information immediately after REMOTE on the same command line. The default environment is the one most recently referenced by a REMOTE or DSLINE command. If a REMOTE HELLO is issued for an environment on which you have already established a session, the existing session is terminated and a new one is created (according to the new user information).
