get the first column of each line as a parameter

hi

I have a file with this format

server1

Stick Out Tongue

ort1
server2

Stick Out Tongue

ort2
server3

Stick Out Tongue

ort3

I already built a script that starts 1 server.

I want to add 'ALL' option to start all servers

how to do that (for loop? awk? sed....)

thanks for your help
