Using rlogin to access the shell

When the inetd daemon is set up and active, you can rlogin to a shell from a workstation that has rlogin client support and is connected via TCP/IP or Communications Server to the MVS™ system. To login, use the rlogin command syntax supported at your site.

To improve performance when you rlogin into a shell, you can use shared address space; for more information, see Performance: Running executable files.

Note: If you are writing or porting an rlogin command to rlogin into a shell, the shell interface to rlogin consists of the FOMTLINP and FOMTLOUT modules, documented in z/OS UNIX System Services Planning.
