RE: RUNRMTCMD Peer-To-Peer

Yes, that is the case. I see no indication at the IBM i Knowledge Center that indicates that this command should not be used or that it is going away.

Roger, I had the same issue with RUNRMTCMD going to a PC. However I think Rich is using it from IBM i to IBM i.

RUNRMTCMD was deprecated sometime in 2020 as I recall. rexec protocol

In 2021, we were updating some Windows servers and that broke RUNRMTCD
for us. That was the impetus needed to modernize.
Just before I retired at the end of 2021, I was in the process of
updating our numerous processes that were using it to use OpenSSH/SSHD
to invoke the remote jobs.
