I didn't mean to sound negative - it's just that it didn't sound like a
very good solution. While the overhead of checking a script might be
minimal, it's still an extra step that has to be taken and an extra
place where things can go wrong. Criticalisms abound!
And I did look at pssh, it does look fairly good.
To give you an example of what I was aiming at, take Apple Remote
Desktop. It essentially works like a mass vnc observer; we can give the
computers simple commands, take them over and install stuff on them or
push files over the network. Sometimes we catch kids (this is a school
place I'm talking about afterall) trying to run games or monkeying
around - you log into ARD and just take over his computer.
Just sayin'.
Your thinking Windows world with maintaining many PC's. Look at AFS,
one filesystem many machines, makes maintaining multiple machines
easy.
ssh server on the workstation is always handy for remote access /
maintenance.
Use VNC (rdesktop) for to observer/remote control there X session.
I'm trying to get an *Apple-world* equivalent for maintaining many PC's.
They usually have uncomplicated ways of doing stuff AND the present
staff is used to them.
I'll do some googling around AFS - thanks.
