NAME
       jsh -- run scheduled commands on	remote machines

SYNOPSIS
       jsh   [-aeiv]   [-l   username]	[-p  port]  [-o	 port]	[-h  hostname]
	   [command ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The jsh program connects	to a jsd daemon, and requests a	node for  pro-
       cessing.	 It will then connect to that remote node and execute the com-
       mand or commands	given to it.  Once it has completed work on the	remote
       machine,	 it  will  return the node to the jsd daemon for future	use by
       other jsh processes.  The primary use of	this is	to ensure that no more
       than one	remote process is running on any single	machine	at a point  in
       time.  This can be used to better facilitate bulk parallel compiling.

       The following options are available:

       -a   The	 -a  option  modifies  the  behavior  of jsh when dealing with
	    stdin.  Normally all commands from stdin are run on	the  same  ma-
	    chine.   Specifying	the -a option causes each command to be	run on
	    the	next node in the seqence.

       -e   Unless the -e option is specified,	stderr	from  remote  commands
	    will not be	reported to the	user.

       -i   The	-i option will list information	about the current cluster, and
	    command  groupings.	 It  will  also	show you which command you are
	    about to run, and your username if specified with the -l option.

       -v   Prints the version of ClusterIt to the stdout, and exits.

       -l   If the -l option is	specified, followed by a  username,  the  com-
	    mands  will	be run under that userid on the	remote machines.  Con-
	    sideration must be taken for proper	authentication,	 for  this  to
	    work.

       -p   The	 -p  option  can be used to set	the port number	which jsd will
	    listen to replies from jsh processes indicating completion of pro-
	    cessing on remote nodes.  This option overrides the	JSD_IPORT  en-
	    vironment variable.	 The default listen port is 2001.

       -o   The	 -o  option  can be used to set	the port number	which jsd will
	    listen to requests from jsh	processes for remote nodes.  This  op-
	    tion  overrides  the  JSD_OPORT environment	variable.  The default
	    listen port	is 2002.

       -h   The	-h option can be used to set the remote	hostname where	a  jsd
	    daemon is running.	jsh defaults to	contacting a jsd daemon	on the
	    local  machine, but	can be set up to talk to a remote daemon.  The
	    -h option will override the	JSD_HOST environment variable.

ENVIRONMENT
       jsh utilizes the	following environment variables:

       RCMD_CMD	      Command to use to	connect	to remote machines.  The  com-
		      mand  chosen must	be able	to connect with	no password to
		      the remote host.	Defaults to rsh.

       RCMD_CMD_ARGS  Arguments	to pass	to the remote shell command.  Defaults
		      to none.

       JSD_OPORT      When set,	overrides the default port which  jsd  listens
		      on for jsh processes requesting nodes.  This environment
		      setting can be overriden by the -o option.

       JSD_IPORT      When  set,  overrides the	default	port which jsd listens
		      on for jsh processes reporting back  that	 it  has  com-
		      pleted  processing  on a node.  This environment setting
		      can be overriden by the -p option.

       JSD_HOST	      When set,	contains the hostname of  the  remote  machine
		      that  the	 jsd daemon is listening on.  This environment
		      setting can be overriden by the -h option.
