Basic Examples  (1)

Create a remote connection object:

Wolfram Language code: remote = RemoteConnect["host.example.com"]

Display the time since boot for the remote machine:

Wolfram Language code: RemoteRunProcess[remote, "uptime", "StandardOutput"]

Write to the input stream of the remote object:

Wolfram Language code: WriteLine[remote, "pwd"]

Read from the output stream:

Wolfram Language code: ReadString[remote]

Close the session:

Wolfram Language code: DeleteObject[remote]

Scope  (1)

Connect to a remote host:

Wolfram Language code: remote = RemoteConnect["arnoudcentoslx.wri.wolfram.com"];

The object contains properties relevant to the connection:

Wolfram Language code: properties = remote["Properties"]

List the properties:

Wolfram Language code: Dataset[AssociationMap[remote, properties]]

Close the session:

Wolfram Language code: DeleteObject[remote]

Properties & Relations  (1)
