scripts across a network

Hi,

I'm trying to create a script that runs a series of commands on a number of machines accross a network and sends the output back to the machine from which the script is run.

I looked into using remsh to do something like this...

for machine in $network
do
  remsh $machine func_1 > func_1.out
  remsh $machine func_2 > func_2.out
done

Unfortunately, I don't think this will work because remsh requires that the functions be defined in the environment on the remote machine.

I'm sure network admins must come accross this type of problem all the time. Anyone know a good solution?

Use rcp to copy func_1 to the remote system in, say, /tmp. Use remsh to chmod it to 700. Now run it.
