Very Computer

I am trying to rexec a command, but so far no luck.  I have done his
before with SCO, but my Linux box at home is not cooperative.  Is
rexecd run as a seperate daemon that I should check for?  How can I
see which services are currently running at which ports?

Thanks... this is vexing, as I want to automate starting up some X
apps.

Rexecd is usually run from inetd, if at all.  See /etc/inetd.conf.
It's not very secure as the protocol transfers passwords in clear text.

Look into rsh (not so secure either) or ssh (very secure).  For remote
X, look at the Remote X Apps mini-HOWTO, your local copy or at

Good luck.                                                     Vincent.
