REMOTE -- Execute DCL commands on remote DECnet nodes V2.1, released August 20, 1994 Hunter Goatley REMOTE lets you execute DCL commands on remote DECnet VMS systems. It works by logging in via proxies and executing a task called DCLREMOTE. To install REMOTE: o For each node to which you want to connect, copy DCLREMOTE.COM to a directory and execute the following commands, substituting the appropriate directory: $ MCR NCP DEFINE OBJECT DCLREMOTE NUMBER 0 FILE SYS$MANAGER:DCLREMOTE.COM PURGE OBJECT DCLREMOTE USER PURGE OBJECT DCLREMOTE PASSWORD DEFINE OBJECT DCLREMOTE PROXY BOTH SET OBJECT DCLREMOTE NUMBER 0 FILE SYS$MANAGER:DCLREMOTE.COM CLEAR OBJECT DCLREMOTE USER CLEAR OBJECT DCLREMOTE PASSWORD SET OBJECT DCLREMOTE PROXY BOTH o Define a foreign symbol to run REMOTE: $ remote :== $dev:[dir]remote.exe Brief on-line help is provided in REMOTE.HLP. I have not been able to track down the author of REMOTE, but I picked it up from a DECUS VAX SIG tape from either '90 or '91. This version has my name on it because I cleaned it up some and made it work on OpenVMS AXP.
