Is there a standard way to remotely manage 100+ SUSE boxes?
Saw this post and few minutes later saw this article: Managing hundreds of Linux machines is easy http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/linux/locutus/archives/managing-hundreds-of-linux... No idea whats in there. Thought it might have the answer. Regards, Soyuz The
machines are NLPOS9, which is based on SLES9, which is in turn based on SUSE 9.1. I need a way to remotely administer them, with cheaper solutions being ideal.
The problem is having to individually log in and tweak things on 100+ boxes. The administration tasks would be applying security updates, and working with files for custom applications.
I believe I can do this with two shell scripts, a "control" script and a "job" script. The control script would copy (via scp) and remotely run (via SSH) the job script to a list of servers stored in an ASCII file. Is this the standard way of doing this?
