Hi there im trying to create a script that will log on to different computers then go to a set directory and then delete some files. I've come up with:
#!/bin/ksh host="host1 host2 ...."
for h in $host do rlogin $h && cd /tmp/ && rm -f file*
done
It logs into the first host succesfully then stops, when i type 'exit' it then throws up an error then logs into the next host.
How can i pass the 2 other commands down to the rlogin prompt?

ksh does not lend it itself to interactive scripting or remote commands. Check into "expect". You will see many examples in this forum. "autoexpect" is a handy macro recording utility.

Can you not pass all the commands on one line? I don't use rlogin but you can with ssh, eg: ssh $h 'cd /tmp/ && rm -f file*'
