executing commands on one host through another

[bos]

Im trying to write a korn script which will check the version of a program on 5 different hosts. If the version is not correct then the program will auto-update the hosts with the correct version.

The main thing I need to know is if there is a way to run a command to a host from another host. That would allow me to execute the installation and de-installation commands.

Please let me know how this might be done.

Thanks in advance.

rsh $host command

make sure you have .rhosts files set up on each client
