It is not clear to me if it is possible to do native networking on
QNX-RTP like in QNX4.
I have succeeded to send messages between processed on the same computer
but not between different computes. Where can I get simple working
examples on QNX-RTP for sending messages between nodes, spawn on
different node from C programs and shell scripts.

I haven’t set up a QNX-RTP network yet so this is just what I’ve
heard.
Instead of //#/PATH where # was a node number, you now can use:
//NODE_NAME/PATH where NODE_NAME is your nodes name. Likewise I think
you can access the network via /net/NODE_NAME/PATH, or is it /networks?
I don’t know what if any support the port packages name_attach/name_locate
support provides, however the base QNX-RTP only provides for finding
processes through the name space. So if you open //NODE_NAME/SOME_NAME
you have opened a channel connection over the network.
I’ve heard that spawn over the network isn’t implemented yet.
