CPU(1) CPU(1)
NAME
cpu - execute a remote command
SYNOPSIS
cpu [ -C alg ] [net!]host [ command [ arg... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Cpu dials host (using network tcp if net is not given),
exports the local namespace and executes the given command
on that machine. The local namespace is visible to the com-
mand in /n/client; local device files are bound into the
remote device directory. If command is not given, then
/dis/sh is run.
The -C option sets the algorithm to be used following
authentication for digesting or encryption, to alg. See
ssl(3) for the supported algorithms. The default is none:
ssl(3) is not used after authentication.

BUGS
Although the draw device files are visible to the remote
command, the original implementation of Tk meant that win-
dowing applications could not receive events when run
remotely. That has been fixed in this release, but cpu has
not yet been updated to take advantage. A later update will
do that.
