NAME

rfb - remote tool execution

SYNOPSIS

rfb server directory batch-command

DESCRIPTION

Rfb will remotely execute a FirstBase batch-command. The command will be executed in directory on machine server.

The rfb process will start the process on another machine, then listen for network notification of the batch-command completion. The status returned by rfb is the high order 8 bits from the status as returned from the execution of the batch-command on the server.

For example, to generate an index that physically resides on another machine, the NFS or network overhead and time expense can be removed by using a remote firstbase execution request. In this case, the command would look something like 



   rfb jaybe /usr/data dbigen -d customers -i company -b






As another example, rfb is used in the following to execute


   dbawk(1) on machine jaybe. Note the use of the quotes to
actually pass the entire string to rfb:



   rfb jaybe /usr/data \
      "dbawk -d customers -i company -f script.awk > output.prt"






Note: if using the FirstBase Floating License system, a license is
required before rfb will execute.
