[WBEL-users] Enterprise Managment Suggestions

[Vincent.Raffensberger@dtn.com]

A good starting point is to setup ssh key authentication everywhere and 
write a script like this:

Note: what you see here is pieces of a larger, more complex script but the 
general idea is intact.
This has a ton of uses.  Name it "SSH" and use it to run a command on all 
of your systems, like 'SSH /sbin/chkconfig --list xinetd'.
The "more complex" part that I pulled out is mainly cases and arguments to 
target groups of systems.

#!/bin/bash
#SSH
SYSTEM_LIST=/data/scripts/PRE_config/allsystems
SYSTEMS=`cat $SYSTEM_LIST | grep -v ^#`
case $# in
        *)
                case $1 in
                "-q" )
                        QUIET=1
                        CMD=`echo $@ | cut -d\  -f 2-`
                        ;;
                *)
                        CMD=$@
                        ;;
                esac
                ;;
esac
function is_host_up {
        if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
                echo "Specify a host or ip as an argument."
        else
                echo $1 | fping -t 250 -r 1 -a 2>/dev/null
        fi
}
for system in $SYSTEMS; do
        if [ ! "$QUIET" ]; then
                echo "###############################################"
                echo $system; echo "*****"
        fi
        if [ `is_host_up $system` ]; then 
               ssh $system "$CMD"; 
        else 
              echo "Skipping $system - unavailable"
        fi
        if [ ! "$QUIET" ]; then echo "*****"; fi
done
#EOF

[WBEL-users] Enterprise Managment Suggestions






Sorry if this is a tad OT, but does anyone have suggestions for 
'enterprise
management' tools?

Having to manage a whole department of machines separately is a drag. What
is needed is
something like Microsoft's' GPO/Active Directory..

Short of writing a whole bunch of scripts ( and perhaps a GUI for our
'admins' ) on my own,
what all have you people dealt with that can do the same sort of job? And
preferably GPL or
BSD licensed..
