Central management

Dear all,

Please recommend some methods of:

-Deploy some files
-Execute some scripts as root

in few hundred servers. Just can't think of the best way of doing it. These are RHEL servers but we have different releases.

Thanks in advance.

You can create a for loop.

#!/bin/bash

for server in "server1" "server2" "server3" "server4" "server5" ; do

ssh $server /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl graceful

done

You will need to set up ssh keys on the servers. Have one server become the master and then add the public ssh keys to the clients. Of course you can alter the command that I showed to whatever.

Hope this helps
Jaysunn
