rje/tcp

Description

rje - or remote job entry provides a method of starting jobs on another machine. The mechanism uses a tcp connection where a client provides the name of files needed to execute the job and the location where it should send the files afterwards. ftp is the mechanism used to move files.

Notes

There does not seem to be anything like rje/udp. rje according to several rfcs seems to be very little utilized. I imagine that this is because of netrje - which seems to be another remote job entry protocol. This protocol at this point is probably only of historical value.

Implementation

I've never seen an implementation of this, although I would be interested in seeing one.
