The C and TC shells have a number of local shell variables which are not exported to the environment. To make sure that these variables are picked up whenever a new shell is invoked, always define shell variables in your .cshrc ( .tcshrc ) file. By convention, names of shell variables are always given in lower case letters. UNIX is case sensitive, so the environment variable PATH is not the same as the shell variable "path". ... Setting shell variables . ...

multi-rsh is a perl script which runs the same command on multiple machines, in parallel, and provides reasonable, adjustable timeouts for those machines which fail to answer. Both standard output and standard error are returned through the same channel, and all output has the hostname prepended to each line. Multi-rsh must be run as root (remote jobs can be set to run as any user, see Options below). ... Neither form allows you to directly pass input to the remote programs. ...
