Manual: `F0af`_`[The rnx Utility ↗`a8d24177d946de4f1f0a0fe1af9a1338:/page/blob.mu`g=reticulum|r=reticulum|ref=HEAD|path=docs/markdown/using.md|anchor=the-rnx-utility]`_`f

`!rnx`! is a utility bundled with `F0af`_`[RNS`:/page/wiki.mu`path=RNS]`_`f that lets you execute commands on remote systems over Reticulum.

Similar to `F0af`_`[rnsh`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Rnsh]`_`f, `B100`F9d9rnx`f`b can operate in two modes:

• `!listener`! mode – accepts incoming commands

• `!initiator`! mode – executes commands on a remote machine

Both sides authenticate using Reticulum `F0af`_`[identities`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Identity]`_`f, ensuring that only authorized `F0af`_`[peers`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Peer]`_`f can establish sessions. By default, only whitelisted identities may connect to a listener.

`*`!Note:`! Anyone connecting to the listener will have the same permissions as the user running the listener, including potentially root privileges.`*

>>Usage

On the remote machine, run in listener mode with `B100`F9d9rnx --listen -a `*<identity>`*`f`b where `B100`F9d9`*<identity>`*`f`b is the identity on the machine you want to connect from. You should see `B100`F9d9rnx listening for commands on `*<destination>`*`f`b printed to the terminal, showing the `F0af`_`[destination`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Destination]`_`f of the listener.

On the local machine, run in initiator mode with `B100`F9d9rnx `*<destination>`* "`*<command>`*"`f`b to execute the command on the remote machine. If the local machine has the specified `B100`F9d9`*<identity>`*`f`b, the command should be executed successfully.
