For commands that can be done via rsh from the admin server, you only need to use a shell like bash or tcsh. I'm sure you know that, I only mention it because I have a related question:

  What is the reasoning behind which commands will work via rsh and which
  won't?

They are made rsh-able "as needed", because since the filer uses all the same memory space, making a piece of code rsh-safe requires extra effort (think multiple simultaneous executions).

Virtually every release, we see a few more commands made rsh-able, but it seems other new features are always more important than cleaning up old code.
