shell script

Hi

can any one hlep in creating the shell script where it should have unix commands like copy,etc and the script should pick up each machine from a file. The file will have list of machines (probably 50 machines). So all the commands are same for all these 50 machines.

reg

As a start, you could create a file (say 'machines') with each of your boxes listed, one per line. Then start your script with:

for name in `cat machines`
do
....insert things you want to do......ftp -n $name for example?
done

Sorry this isn't too detailed - post back with more
details of exact requirements, but this might get you started.
