/**
 * This is an example program demonstrating how to use the RCommandClient class. This program connects to an rshell daemon and requests that the given command
 * be executed on the server. It then reads input from stdin (this will be line buffered on most systems, so don't expect character at a time interactivity),
 * passing it to the remote process and writes the process stdout and stderr to local stdout.
 * <p>
 * On UNIX systems you will not be able to use the rshell capability unless the process runs as root since only root can bind port addresses lower than 1024.
 * <p>
 * Example: java rshell myhost localusername remoteusername "ps -aux"
 * <p>
 * Usage: rshell <hostname> <localuser> <remoteuser> <command>
