I want to do this without typing in a password every time the "rexec" command executes. The way I see it the "rexec" command in CYGWIN does not allow a password to be passed. I have tried to use a ".netrc" file (to supply the password) with the format: machine remote_machine_name login remote_username password string I have not been able to get this to work. I cannot find a man page or other CYGWIN documentation for "rexec" or ".netrc". Is it possible to do this with CYGWIN?
