Hi,

I have a unix box which runs on HP UX. I want to execute a script
in another UNIX box in the same network. I want to do this using a
unix script in my current box. So i tried it using rexec utility. But
it is asking me for the password each and everytime. Is there a way to
automate the input of my password for the rexec utility.

Thanks
Star

Don't use rexec/rsh, it's insecure. Yes, it might not matter when you're in
a non-hostile network.

Instead, use SSH and setup key-based authentication.
