Its rather tedious and time consuming to ssh into 20, 40, 60 systems just to run up2date -u or yum update etc etc. Enter func - I can batch apply updates to systems in stages (pre-defined groups) and reboot for new kernels etc where needed in rolling fashion much easier. However currently getting that output from a large number of systems is painful. In my mind on this front there are two things that could be done here: first is to output the text as per normal remote ssh command execution. The second only applies to corner cases, certain 'audit' scenarios etc and that is to output the text into rss, atom etc that can be put into a wiki, webpage etc fairly easily. my 0.02 - -- # Paul Lundin # plundin@xxxxxxxxxx # GPG key: 2DE452BE # Senior Systems Administrator # Red Hat inc http://www.redhat.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFILbcg6KVQKC3kUr4RAqRuAKC/Pv3R31wPG43NBpiHT8qvmdnVJwCgrtmu HJ6hrohQFD2n//UQgQls7cs= =3Eyl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list
