Have you looked at cfengine at all? Quoting Chris Purcell <redhat@xxxxxx>: *> We're in the process of deploying about 200 Fedora (or RHEL) workstations *> out to our remote offices scattered across the US. I need a way that I *> can easily make changes to the workstations all at once. I've been *> thinking of a hack that I would write (in Perl) that would go something *> like this... *> *> 1) each workstation would execute a cron job daily that would download a *> script from our central server each day *> 2) that script would be executed by another cron job a few minutes later. *> This script will contain any changes that I need to make. If there *> aren't any updates for the day, then the script will be blank that day. *> *> Will this work? There has to be something better than this out there. *> What do you guys do in this situation? For example, we've deployed about *> 25 workstations out so far, but now I need to change this Perl script on *> each one of the machines. What is the easiest way to push this script out *> besides SCP'ing it to each one individually. *> *> Thanks, *> Chris *> *> *> *> -- *> fedora-list mailing list *> fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx *> To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list *> -- Harry Hoffman hhoffman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 2, 2004: National Bush trimming day ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IpSolutions: http://www.ip-solutions.net/
