Running a remote script
Posted on 2004-09-19
Experts,
Currently I run about 25 scripts per day to perform various tasks on various linux servers. I am looking for a program that will remotly run scripts for me. Basicly all it needs to do is store a script, connect to SSH, run the script and exit. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

If you pre-configure the servers for a public/private key exchange, so you don't have to enter a password this gets really simple. And it gets even simpler if you install your scripts on the server, say in /usr/local/sbin. All that's necessary then is a script that uses ssh to run the script on the remotes, something like:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Execute Scripts on server1
#
ssh remote-user@server1.dom.tl
ssh remote-user@server1.dom.tl
#
# Execute Scripts on server2
#
ssh remote-user@server2.dom.tl
ssh remote-user@server2.dom.tl
#!/bin/sh
#
# Execute Scripts on server1
#
ssh remote-user@server1.dom.tl
ssh remote-user@server1.dom.tl
#
# Execute Scripts on server2
#
ssh remote-user@server2.dom.tl
ssh remote-user@server2.dom.tl
Thank you for your commends, however, I am looking for a name or a link to an actual program. We have previously established scripts and put them on the servers, now all that is left is the program that will go and execute them.
The program for executing the scripts will be ssh, as I showed above. If you need to execute a number of scripts on the servers, one after the other you could use a wrapper script that you install on the server that will execute each script in turn. Or run ssh from a local script like I described.
Maybe I don't fully understand your problem. What is it about what I've described that is a problem?
