This is what I intend to do. [#] I ssh into server1, and run a wine application. [#] With that app running in the background, I ssh into server2 and run another wine app. [#] This goes on to 10 different servers.. [#] Once an app finishes running (in any server), I need to detect that and re-run the app with slightly different arguments. .... and I want to script this whole thing :) I'm still new to shell scripting and i'll RT(F)M to get that going! :)
