### Automatically Starting RSHD

To start RSHD automatically when TCP/IP is started, select the Autostart tab, select RSHD in the Autostarted Services list box, and check the Autostart Service box under Autostart Options.

You can select the INETD Super Server Daemon button to use INETD as an alternative way to start RSHD automatically.

If you choose to start RSHD in an OS/2 window foreground session, you can check the Minimized box to minimize the OS/2 window.

When RSHD is started, you can issue a command on a remote host and receive the results on your local host using the rsh command.

The RSH server does not require or allow the client to specify a password, but looks to the RHOSTS file to determine access privileges.

Uncheck the Autostart Service box to disable automatic starting of RSHD when TCP/IP is started. This is the default.

#### RSHD Parameters

If you choose to automatically start RSHD without using INETD, TCP/IP can also process the following command parameters when specified from the Autostart tab:

-t seconds
  Specifies the number of seconds before the server will time out while servicing a client command. The default is 180. If you do not want a timeout, specify -1.
