it's a bit more fun (though harder to sort the output) if you do for a in $(seq 1 100); do rsh -n note-$a w & ; done and the obvious refinement is to prefix each line with the node name, then use sort with whatever parameters make it sort on the first column with no regard for other columns. it's those "whatever parameters" that keep me from backgrounding N rsh jobs on a regular basis. but for lots of tasks i can get away with it ( for example, the emulex fiber channel driver takes 10 seconds to load. on a 33 node cluster, that adds up fast ) ==rob -- Rob Latham: linux A-Team Bethlehem, PA USA EAE8 DE90 85BB 526F 3181 1FCF 51C4 B6CB 08CC 0897
