Does anyone have any experience running remote linux commands from

been unsuccessful executing a remote command on linux. I can use
rexec/rsh from one linux system to another, but not from MVS.
Any help on using these commands, or other suggestions on how to
execute remote commands will be much appreciated.
I would guess that your Linux guest doesn't have rexec/rsh installed.
WIth good reason: they're astonishingly insecure. If they're on the
same physical machine as your MVS machine then you may not care, since
there's no physical wire to be sniffed between them. As far as I know
they do still exist in modern distros and you should be able to
install them.
OTOH, if you have a little budget, you could license NJE for Linux and
have a very easy way to submit remote jobs to Linux.
