in reply to Deploying Apps Remotely

One way to distribute and install an rpm is this:

  1. Place the rpm file on a local http or ftp server, distserver, say.
  2. In whatever wrappings are convinient, iterate ssh -2 root@${server} rpm -U http://distserver/rpms/foo-3.14-1.i686.rpm over all the servers you want to install on.

That can be done in perl or with shell scripting. Since you are on a windows box, perl would be much easier.

It seems odd to me that you would administer all those lovely linux boxen from win32 ;-)

    hahaha.. I am working on that problem now. I have to deal with
    with our layout as-is. But management has promised me a second machine for "linux managment" :}. Your idea works great for rpms and I actually use it right now for scripting RPM installs.
