Non-equilibrium dynamics of classical random Ising spin chains are studied using asymptotically exact real space renormalization group. Specifically the random field Ising model with and without an applied field (and the Ising spin glass (SG) in a field), in the universal regime of a large Imry Ma length so that coarsening of domains after a quench occurs over large scales. Two types of domain walls diffuse in opposite Sinai random potentials and mutually annihilate. The domain walls converge

... pidly to a set of system-specific time-dependent positions independent of the initial conditions. We obtain the time dependent energy, magnetization and domain size distribution (statistically independent). The equilibrium limits agree with known exact results. We obtain exact scaling forms for two-point equal time correlation and two-time autocorrelations. We also compute the persistence properties of a single spin, of local magnetization, and of domains. The analogous quantities for the spin glass are obtained. We compute the two-point two-time correlation which can be measured by experiments on spin-glass like systems. Thermal fluctuations are found to be dominated by rare events; all moments of truncated correlations are computed. The response to a small field applied after waiting time t_w, as measured in aging experiments, and the fluctuation-dissipation ratio X(t,t_w) are computed. For (t-t_w) ∼ t_w^α̂, α̂ <1, it equals its equilibrium value X=1, though time translational invariance fails. It exhibits for t-t_w ∼ t_w aging regime with non-trivial X=X(t/t_w) ≠ 1, different from mean field.
