Remote Execution

Is there any way to spawn a process on a remote node under Neutrino?

Supposedly under QNX 4 this could be performed using the qnx_spawn() call if
the global structure ‘qnx_spawn_options’ is set-up just right.

Also - under QNX 4 this could be accomplished with the ‘on’ utility (This
utility exists under Neutrino, but does not seem to support remote
spawning).

Any help is appreciated.

At this time the only way around this is to write a “server” process
on the remote node and send it a message to let it spawn
localy.

Any help is appreciated.

Has there been any fix for this yet - I’m particularly interested in
using the “on” utility in a manner like was possible in QNX4.

This feature will be available in the next release.
