scp then ssh? other option? 1

[dwcasey]

I have a script I want to run on a many servers. It essentially is cleaning up some old files from an old application.

It's designed to run locally on the server itself. It has a few functions within...kill necessary processes associated with cleanup, check if filesystem exists, if so, remove it, check for entry in inittab, if exist, remove it, remove a few files associated with old application.

So I could just do a for $i in servers.lst do scp myscript then another for loop to ssh the script. But then all my logging will be on the server and not local.

Could I just encapsulate myscript.ksh in a startmyscript.ksh which will log everything local?

Experiment with

cat myscript | ssh -T user@myhost ksh  > mylog

Maybe someone can sort out the UUOC - I cant get

ssh -T user@myhost ksh < myscript

to work

If you're happy with scping the script across first, then you should be able to log the output locally by running it like this:

ssh user@myhost /path/to/script > /tmp/local_log_file 2>&1

That is unless there are some explicit redirections to log files inside the script, which of course will be created on the system where it runs.
