nimol_lslpp Command
Purpose
Runs the lslpp command on a NIMOL client.
Description
The nimol_lslpp command executes the lslpp command on a configured NIMOL client using the specified remote access method, which is/usr/bin/rsh by default. When configuring a NIMOL server using the nimol_config command, the user can set the default remote access method to something other than /usr/bin/rsh, such as /usr/bin/ssh. A machine is considered a NIMOL client when it has been installed using the nimol_install command without the -n flag.
The command runs the lslpp command with -L -c as the default flags. The lslpp command flags can be specified with the -f flag.
