[lug] distributed shell or ssh ?

[PC Drew]

Here is my solution.  It ain't pretty, but it works:

-- BEGIN FILE doforall.sh --
#!/bin/sh

# to be used like: doforall.sh "sudo userdel myuser; sudo rm -rf /export/home/myuser"

ssh web1 $1
ssh web2 $1
ssh bv1 $1
ssh uat $1
ssh reports $1
-- END FILE doforall.sh --


Now, if you've got RSA keys already setup without passwords, then you don't need to enter anything.  If not,
then you should try writing it in Expect.
