You could start a GNU Screen session that opens SSH connections to each box, then use this script to multiplex the command: http://harnly.net/2005/blog/geek/macosx/gnu-screen/ But that's more than a handful of moving parts, and it is fairly manual. I'd automate it using a shell script: ----------------------8<---------------------- #!/bin/bash newversion=app-1.1 current=/tmp/opt/app-1.0 servers="server-a server-b server-c" commands="cd /tmp && md5sum -C $newversion.tar && tar -xf $newversion.tar && rm -rf $current && tar -C /tmp/opt -xf /tmp/$newversion.tar" for server in $servers do scp /tmp/$newversion.tar MD5SUMS.txt $server: ssh $server "$commands" done ---------------------->8---------------------- If it needs to be more complicated, I'd probably use Python. -- Adam Monsen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
