[rancid] Re: Leveraging rancid framework for unix

[Sam Munzani]

Aaron,

The goal is not to just run one line command but feed a command-list 
file like we typically do on rancid. An example below of my command list.

sed -e 's/x.x.x.x/y.y.y.y/g' srcfile1 > tmpfile
mv tmpfile srcfile1
sed -e 's/snmp-community/xyz/g' srcfile2 > tmpfile
mv tmpfile srcfile2

There are many commands like that. In short, I need to mass change snmp 
agent configuration file on all servers with new trap destination, new 
snmp string etc. This is just an example but the changes I need takes 
roughly 18 commands. If this could be achieved by the ssh syntax you 
suggested, I am all up for that.

Thanks,
sam
