ooops. didn't mean to add urls. ahhh ... Sorry for the lack of information. Basically, the remote system will most likely run scripts that we have generated, 3rd party scripts, unit tests (for developers), etc, really no limits. Basically, the master server will have what we call a "agenda" to run on a remote system (which is basically just a list of scripts to call - some in serial, some in parallel) and the master server will for a child for each unique call to a remote system. To break it down more: The master server may want to do this (very simple example). Agenda has 1 elemen. run: "perl /test/dvlp/mytestscript.pl <input 1> <input 2>" on remote system: 111.22.33.44 and get back the return code and any output (if available). I'm looking now if we can get back return codes from using the Telnet module ... no luck yet.
