Description Petr Muller 2011-05-05 15:50:31 UTC
Description of problem:

We were asked to review Developers' Guide for the RHEL6.1, this bug comes from
the effort:

One of the important features of new RHEL6.1 systemtap is the --remote option, allowing to build the systemtap module locally, and execute remotely via SSH:

       --remote [USER@]HOSTNAME
              Set the execution  target  to  the  specified  ssh
              host,  optionally  using  a  username not matching
              your own.  This option may be repeated  to  target
              multiple  execution  targets.  Passes 1-4 are com-
              pleted locally as normal to build the script,  and
              then pass 5 will copy the module to the target and
              run it.  (EXPERIMENTAL)

As the Dev Guide describes important features brought in RHEL6.0, short mention of this new feature should probably be added.
