Not to spoil your fun, but just to make sure you're aware of it... do
you know Apple Remote Desktop? Sounds like it would do all you want...

Not free, though (or even cheap :)

Thanks Sam, Kem, and Fargo,
I'll give this a wack. I tried to find the answer myself so I might
have got myself screwed up some with the 'using administrators
permissions' thing - I think this is an AppleScript thing and not
Shell script.
As for security... this is not an issue. My little slave programs
have no interface so it can not be tampered with. It's only
function is listen on a particular port for specific UDP commands.
Commands can only be sent from the master program which am in
control of. I'm the administrator of a 24 Mac Lab. This is just to
streamline my job. I already can do some real cool stuff... Shut
Down & Restart is a given, but I can do a Repair Disk Permissions,
move all desktop items to the trash, empty the trash, close all
Finder windows, run/quit applications, open a specified browser to
a specified URL, sleep, wake, open/ close CD/DVD drawers, and a
bunch more. I can select a singe Mac or send to all (it's real
funny sending an open and close drawer commands to all - except for
our newer Mac the drawers open and close in unison - kind of like
the scene from No Time For Sergeants except computers and not
toilets). I'm still working on a way to logout from one account and
into another using a Shell Script and implementing a 'Wake On Lan'.
Have an Egg Nog on me... Actually have mine I hate the stuff!
Craig
