I don't have complete control over the remote server, so I am limited
in some ways. Theres no sudo available, however wouldn't this require
an interactive response anyway ?. I've considered a few options from
stuid to hostkeys & I really want to run this interactively to some
extent. At the moment I do something like:-
$for N in 2 - 8; do ssh mta0${N}.fqdn; done & su -
/usr/local/bin/run_cmd at each server. I have to watch the output, to
ensure theres no mishaps and don't want to put too much logic into
this script.
