Why use Perl? $ for S in `cat file_of_target_addrs` > do > ssh $S '/path/to/command/to/that.sh' > done $ (assuming your shell supports for loops, sub with local syntax as need +ed) [download] What in your problem space requires Perl? Be Appropriate && Follow Your Curiosity	[reply] [d/l]

Why use cat? Kill the cat! `$ while read S > do > ssh $S '/path/to/command/to/that.sh' > done < file_of_target_addrs` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

use any RPC proto that you like(you can use `system();` to execute shell comand)..or write a tcp server(http://perldoc.perl.org/IO/Socket.html) on that machine that accept's a path to script and then `my $cmd = "sh /my/script/myscript.sh"; system $cmd;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I am not sure I understand your question. Here's what I read: 1. You have a shell script that will start processes on multiple servers. 2. You need to execute a shell script using perl 3. You have server IP and script path information. 4. You want your perl script to start the scripts running on the servers specified in 3. Why can't you use the shell script you describe in 1? If you need to run it from perl, use the system command or backticks (``). TGI says moo	[reply]

Perhaps I'm missing the point, but there already is an application to do what you want. It's called Telnet. Telnet to the server and start the shell script. If your solution MUST be in Perl, have a look at Net::Telnet.	[reply]
