Re: REXEC (RUNRMTCMD) between IBM i systems

Joe,

The command gets executed on the target machine but (at least in my V5R3
system), the output gets directed to the source machine. Check your source
system spool...

I've noted with interest the discussions here about REXEC, and I did
some experimenting. I was able to execute a RUNRMTCMD on one IBM i
pointing to another using *IP, but it never seems to execute on the
target machine. I tried something simple: WRKACTJOB, both OUTPUT(*) and
OUTPUT(*PRINT). If I don't have the REXEC server running, the command
fails on the source machine (as I would expect), but when I start the
REXEC server the commands completes on the source machine but I never
see anything on the target machine that I can find. No spooled files, no
job logs, no entries in QHST. I look at the various QTRXC jobs on the
target machine and I don't see anything that even makes it look like
they are receiving or processing a request.

Am I just trying something that won't work? It seemed like a simple way
to execute a command on another machine.
