rem_net_test_com

NAME

rem_net_test_com - Client which can be used by the control host to start the RTPL net performance tests at the appropriate test host and to receive the reports from the net_test_com_server server running at the test host

SYNOPSIS

rem_net_test_com  [Option [...]] Host Command [...]

DESCRIPTION

The script rem_net_test_com can be used at the control host to start remotely the net performance measurements at the test hosts, where they will be invoked by the accompanying net_test_com_server(1) script. During the package configuration at the control host, the rem_net_test_com script can be selected for the remote invocation, where it may serve as an alternative for remote shell commands such as rsh(1) and ssh(1). The net_test_com_server(1) script can also be used for Windows hosts, where remote shell commands are not so general available.

Please note that for security reasons net_test_com_server(1), called by fIrem_net_test_com, can only be used to start the start_netserver(1) and host_net_test(1) commands, residing in the same directory as the net_test_com_server(1) script.
