On Unix-like operating systems, the rlogin command remotely logs in to a system.

Description

rlogin starts a terminal session on the remote host host. The standard Berkeley “rhosts” authorization mechanism is used. The options are as follows:

Syntax

rlogin [-8EKLdx] [-e char] [-l username] host

Options

A line of the form “.” disconnects from the remote host. Similarly, the line “^Z” will suspend the rlogin session, and “” suspends the send portion of the rlogin, but allows output from the remote system. By default, the tilde ("~") character is the escape character, and normally Control-Y ("^Y") is the delayed-suspend character.

All echoing takes place at the remote site, so that (except for delays) the rlogin is transparent. Flow control via ^S/^Q and flushing of input and output on interrupts are handled properly.

Examples

rlogin -l hope domain.com

Login as user hope to the remote system domain.com.
