Thanks to everyone to responded to my request about copying files to remote
macs and distributing software to them. I have tried some of these ideas,
and have had some success, but what I am really looking for are methods of
using the existing tools within the Mac OS to accomplish the following:
From a script on a single mac I need to:
open a file containing a list of remote mac machine names
Connect to each successive machine, and then for that machine
copy the files (which are executable) from the server to the chosen
machinename
cause those executables to run on the remote machine
Disconnect from the machine and move on to the next machinename in the list.
I tried the recorder mode in both Apple's Script Editor and also LateNight's
Script Debugger 2, but neither of them captured the process of "opening" or
connecting to, the remote machine.
Also, when I opened the window on the remote machine which contained the
file that I had copied there and then by double-clicking tried to execute
that file, it actually ran on my local machine, instead of executing on the
remote machine.
What role, if any, does "program linking" play in a situation like this?
Thanks for the help so far, this is a very helpful group. I hope to
contribute myself someday...
