I do. But how do you propose to script that over 10+ (or 100+ :-) boxes? I use screen on the server from which I initiate the updates, but that doesn't cut it when it's the server that is rebooted, or gets disconnected from the client. And then, using screen is just a work around for a serious problem. Wouldn't we be better off solving the problem in the first place? -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} FSFLA Board Member ¡Sé Libre! => http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
