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.

SEE ALSO
       dial(2), ip(3), u9fs(4)

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