- We are setting up a remote machine that will be limited to data base
- applications. All users will login through a host and will operate from a
- menu on the host. If the menu item selected is not data base related, such as
- Word Processing, they will execute the application on the host. But, if
- they select a data base application, such as SANITARIAN INSPECTION
- SCHEDULING, then we want to have them do a transparent rlogin to the remote
- machine
- and execute the data base application. Since there will be several different
- data base applications on the remote machine, data must somehow be passed to
- the rlogin so a decision can be made about which data base application to
- execute.
-
- As far as I can tell, environmental variables on the host are not passed to
- the remote machine during the rlogin process. So, I'm seeking advice from
- the net on how to get data about which data base application to select
- passed to the remote login.
-
- Both the host machine and the remote machine are running Unix V, Release 3.
-
- Thanks.
