I have multiple servers which need to run several interactive scripts each morning and evening to bring up and shutdown an application, which includes an oracle database. The startup & shutdown scripts on each server require the user to answer questions based on the stat of the database. I would like to create a single PERL script that would REMSH to each box and launch the startup/shutdown scripts simultaneously and allow the user to answer questions and be aware of which server is asking the question. These processes take between 1/2-1 hour to run and running one after another is not an option. Any feedback would be appreciated.
