EXECNET(4)EXECNET(4)NAME
execnet - network interface to program execution
SYNOPSIS
execnet [ -n name ] [ netdir ]
DESCRIPTION
Execnet presents a network protocol directory (see, for example, ip(3))
called netdir/name (default /net/exec).
Once the protocol directory exists, dialing (see dial(2)) strings of
the form name!cmd will connect to a newly executed instance of cmd.
EXAMPLE
Execnet can be used to connect to instances of u9fs(4) running on other
hosts:
g% execnet
g% srv -m 'exec!ssh ny start-u9fs' ny /n/ny
This example assumes that the remote command start-u9fs executed on ny
will start u9fs appropriately. For example, it might be:
ny% cat start-u9fs
#!/bin/sh
u9fs -na none -u $USER -l $HOME/tmp/u9fs.log
ny%
See the u9fs(4) man page for more information.

Almost certainly: execnet has only been tested as in the example shown.
