Shell Programming and Scripting

Dear all

I would like to shutdown multiple servers remotely with the issue of one single command. What is the command to shut down a server remotely (ie, I want to issue a command on server X to shutdown server Y and server Z).

Thank you

You can try

  1. rsh
  2. ssh (If you have it installed)

You can distirbute a simple shutodwn script on each box, then rsh as root (if security allows it). But you will still have to enter passwords, even if they are the same over there as they are here. (which is a terrible idea)
