[solved]Execute commands remotely

Hi all,

I want to execute the same commands on 20 gentoo boxes at the same time. They all have ssh running. Now I was thinking to make a perl script which executes these commands on the 20 boxes, capture the output and write that output into a local logfile. This way i can administer 20 boxes at the same time. Before i'm reinventing the wheel, there must be a program/package which allready does this.

In other words , does anyone know any program/framework to execute the same actions on more servers at the same time? This would save me a lot of time !!

Thanks in advance.

Here you can find a program called mssh (mass ssh) which seems to be exactly doing what you´re looking for.

Sounds very good and I will look into it and test it.

Are there any other possibilities for my situation?
Some kind of centralized management software?

thanks!

I can't believe this,

I've been searching for this, but i completely forgot the name or where i saw it. I opened packages.gentoo.org and there it was at the fresh ebuilds of today

cfengine that's what i was looking for :lol:

Thanks anyway
