Sounds good okay cron I not need but pssh sounds great. But at end I become only siefke@sisibox ~ $ pssh -h .config/pssh-hosts -P yaourt -Suy [1] 20:03:54 [FAILURE] host1 Exited with error code 255 [...] Good case, wrong solution, IMHO. With remote execution, you want to use tested commands which only error if there really is something wrong. It's the cattle vs pets approach (check Google, little time to type right now). Yaourt is a "pet" problem. A better approach would be to have a custom repro, where you place the pkg's that were compiled (and tested!) on a workstation/dev server. When the actions become more complex, write a script and use pssh (or other execution tool) to execute that script. The script should be able to handle the small exceptions one can expect; ). At least, that is my preferred modus operandi. Just my two cents. Mvg, Guus Snijders
