On Starting A Remote Shell Programmatically

[黃耀賢 (Yau-Hsien Huang)]

Hi, all. I want to write something like MapReduce on a set of nodes,
based on Hewlett-Packard High Performance Computer. SSH is
allowed that I can jump from one node to another without password,
but RSH is not permitted to use.

I have a question: give one another hostname, can I write Erlang
program to start a remote shell or a remote job on it?

Best Regards,
Y.H.H.
