Christina,
The short answer to your questions is Yes.
You can do all that with Ruby. Ruby can run multiple threads, you can
write code with Ruby to open FTP, SSH or other remote file transfer
methods, and you could definitely write Ruby code to do that, but its
not a
part of Watir per se. The truth is that this requires some pretty
heavy
lifting, and may be beyond the scope of this Watir General forum.
You'd need to:
1. Have Ruby and Watir pre-installed on each of the remote systems
2. Use Ruby's Thread methods to run multiple threads concurrently
3. Use Ruby to establish communications with a remote systems
(SSH, rlogin, rhs, telnet, etc)
4. Use Ruby to transfer a file (i.e. myTest.rb) to the remote
systems
5. Use Ruby to execute the file on the remote systems
6. Use Ruby to collect the output of that file's execution on each
of the remote systems
As this is a Watir forum, and not a Ruby forum, would suggest you
might want to post to:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby
Of course, if someone who reads the Watir General forum has
tackled this scenario and has a solution I'd love to see how it
was implemented.
