Oh, and I forgot, where did you expect "rsh"'s output to go after you
put it in the background?? You probably wanted to redirect its output
somewhere, as in
rsh -n anothercomputer "dosomething" >somefile 2>&1 &
If you don't expect any output, redirect it to /dev/null:
rsh -n anothercomputer "dosomething" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
