RE: RUNRMTCMD Peer-To-Peer

I missed that part. It's been 12-13 years since I dealt with a multi-system environment where I needed RUNRMTCMD between two IBM I's. A lot of IBM i to SQL Server at my last job though, so that was fresh in my mind.

I now recall that the SSH conversion actually ended up using GoAnywhere on the IBM side to invoke jobs on the SQL Server side.

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
was/is not secure.

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.
