an idea, create process on other machine

an idea, create process on other machine

[Vardhan Varma]

       just cam across this:
       http://www.tochna.technion.ac.il/projects/oldprojects/ntcsh/

       Basically:
        command @machine
        invokes command at machine,
        carrying over the environment.
        can do pipes !! ( internally reverts to socket, of course ).
        

      IMHO good candidate for creeping featureism in zsh.

Network Shell (a commercial product: www.shpink.com) takes this a few
steps further. I'm not sure if they've compiled zsh with their
distributed i/o libs yet, but I could ask if people are interested.

   Peace,

disclaimer: I know the founder of the company and have given them
porting access to a machine at our site because it seemed like a cool
product (but we have no specific commercial relationship with them).
