<p><b>rnx</b> is a utility bundled with <a href="RNS" title="RNS">RNS</a> that lets you execute commands on remote systems over Reticulum.

</p><p>Similar to <a href="Rnsh" title="Rnsh">rnsh</a>, <code>rnx</code> can operate in two modes:

</p>

<ul><li><b>listener</b> mode – accepts incoming commands</li>

<li><b>initiator</b> mode – executes commands on a remote machine</li></ul>

<p>Both sides authenticate using Reticulum <a href="Identity" title="Identity">identities</a>, ensuring that only authorized <a href="Peer" class="mw-redirect" title="Peer">peers</a> can establish sessions. By default, only whitelisted identities may connect to a listener.

</p><p><i><b>Note:</b> Anyone connecting to the listener will have the same permissions as the user running the listener, including potentially root privileges.</i>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Usage">Usage</h2></div>

<p>On the remote machine, run in listener mode with <code>rnx --listen -a <i><identity></i></code> where <code><i><identity></i></code> is the identity on the machine you want to connect from. You should see <code>rnx listening for commands on <i><destination></i></code> printed to the terminal, showing the <a href="Destination" title="Destination">destination</a> of the listener.

</p><p>On the local machine, run in initiator mode with <code>rnx <i><destination></i> "<i><command></i>"</code> to execute the command on the remote machine. If the local machine has the specified <code><i><identity></i></code>, the command should be executed successfully.
