Project Description

remote_update.pl is a script that utilizes Expect,
PERL, and SSH, to perform automated remote
administration on a large number of hosts. You
define what scripts to run and files to copy for the
remote machines, and the script will connect to
each machine via SSH to perform the administrative
task without interaction. The only thing required to
be running on the remote machines is SSH.
