Runs a command on another computer.
| -n |
Redirect the input of rsh to /dev/null. You
sometimes need this option to avoid unfortunate interactions between rsh and the shell which
invokes it. For example, if you are running rsh and invoke a rsh in the background without
redirecting its input away from the terminal, it will block even if no reads are posted by the
remote command. The -n option will prevent this. |

| -a |
Disable authentication agent forwarding. |
