Hi,

I'm currently writing a script to update the live servers for multiple domains from the dev server. I would like to be able to use SSH to connect to each of the servers and run some CVS commands on each one.

The commands will need to iterate for each domain that needs action and hence it would make sense to use an object orientated approach with a persistent connection for each of the servers. All of the domains are hosted on the same (2 identical) servers and there is only one dev server so there would just need to be 3 connections.

My question really is what is the easiest way to have multiple SSH connections from one script? Also how do I deal with user authentication etc. - is it possible to use shared keys or something?

On the CVS side of things, for each domain, the working directory on the dev server will need to be checked in to the cvs repository, then checked out onto the 2 live servers. Is it possible to have CVS 'objects' that represent the same command and then just CVSobject->execute() them for each domain?

Thanks in advance,
Toby
