In a bourne shell script I would like to execute a command and write the output to the remote host.
eg..
rsh $host crontab -l>file
rcp file $host:/tmp/file
Writes the output to the local machine, so I have to do the rcp to copy it back to the remote machine.I would like to do this in one step.
Regards,
Phil

What you need to do is quote the remote command, so that your local shell does
not see the output redirection:

rsh $host 'crontab -l >file'
