This might depend. Our rsh implementations (Linux and FreeBSD) definitely
use stdin (if you send a command - if you just do "rsh host", it will
effectively do "rlogin" and use a pty) - we regularily do things like
"remote backup via rsh", which works over a pipe.
I just tried my variant (from a FreeBSD system to a 7200 12.0(21)S), and
it works fine...:
/home/gert$ echo y|rsh cisco clear count fa0/0
Clear "show interface" counters on this interface [confirm]y
