I can't help you with Win2K, but the FreeBSD boxen are easy. I tried this
thing:
==== script begin ====
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my %machines = (
firewall => 'admin',
samba => 'operator',
web => 'bofh',
);
foreach my $host (sort keys %machines) {
print $host . ':' . `ssh -l $machines{$host} $host "uptime"`;
}
==== script end ====
Example Output:
firewall: 3:47AM up 18 days, 10:44, 0 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
samba: 2:46AM up 38 days, 2:05, 6 users, load averages: 0.20, 0.17, 0.17
web: 3:47AM up 1 day, 9:14, 2 users, load averages: 0.14, 0.15, 0.17
Names changed to protect the guilty, but it's tested, and it Works For
Me[TM].
Caveat:
You need to have your ssh setup to use public key auth, and have a
ssh-agent(1) running on the machine your running the script on. This is
a minor thing, as you should have this already. :)
Possible solution for a Win2K box:
Install Cygwin on it, and run an sshd on it, then it'll look just like
the BSD machines scripting wise. I haven't tried this as I have no
Microsoft OS'en with me ATM.
Have a nice day
