I am redoing my company's make system and plan on using Jam, however, there is one issue I am not sure how to approach.

The current build system is set up such that if a user types:

%make sol

This will rlogin to a Solaris machine dedicated to compiling and execute the equivalent of "make all."

Alternatively, if the user were to enter:

%make lin

It will do the same process on a Linux build machine, regardless of the platform the user is currently using.

Is there a way that in my rules I can specify a shell command to rlogin to the appropriate machine, and then call Jam on that machine with the appropriate arguments?

Thanks,
