By default STAR-CCM+ uses rsh as the remote shell program used to launch remote servers. Alternative remote shell programs may be used with STAR-CCM+ by specifying the remote shell on the command line using:
-rsh <remote shell command>
The remote shell specified must conform to the syntax:
"remote shell command" <HOST> -l <USER>
where HOST is the remote machine to which the remote shell will connect and the username is specified using the -l syntax.
Before STAR-CCM+ is launched, you must ensure that your remote shell program will continue to run without requiring further action by you. STAR-CCM+ will not support a remote shell connection that prompts you for additional inputs such as a password.
The ssh Program
For example, ssh can be used with STAR-CCM+ by specifying it as:
-rsh /usr/bin/ssh
You must test the authorization in order to initialize the relationship between the host and the remote host before running STAR-CCM+:
ssh remote-host ls -lsa
Contact your system administrator if the automatic authorization is not working.
