This is how I do it - highly recommend using SSH instead of R-anything. Makes 
your security auditors happy. 

//SFTPPRF1 EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM=('SH ssh -o $O1 -l $L $S $CMD') 
//STDOUT   DD SYSOUT=(,)                                          
//STDERR   DD SYSOUT=(,)                                          
//STDENV   DD *                                                   
L=userid                                                         
S=linux.whatever.com                                        
CMD=ls -al                                                        
O1=StrictHostKeyChecking=no                                       
/*                                                                

For this to work, you must have OpenSSH on the mainframe side. And establish 
SSH keys between Unix System Services and the Linux machine. If you Google "ssh 
keys" you'll find lots of sites on how to do that.

Subject: REXEC / RSH

Does anyone have any experience running remote linux commands from MVS batch? I 
have found that MVS TSO has REXEC and RSH, but I am 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.
