Re: RUNRMTCMD Replacement - Use SSH?

[Roger Harman <roger.harman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, I use GA extensively and have used it to invoke host processes but only on the local host.  Should be a piece of cake to use the SSH invoke as well.  Nice thing is it can redirect output and email it back to you.

I was more wondering what the "native" IBM replacement was.

It's likely I'll go the GA route but always good to have more than one arrow in the quiver.

SSH works flawlessly and lets you use public keys instead of embedding
passwords.

GoAnywhere also works fine, and supports ssh etc.
