I am blind now... There are [ code ] and [ /code ] tags to help display code properly.

You should echo your variables and check if the paths etc. are correct, for example those two for your copy here:

Code:
cp $line $lindir

Also I recommend to use scp instead of rcp.

For the start of background processes from one machine, you could use ssh or rsh, better ssh
Also for killing them at once, you might use ssh again and something like:

Code:
ps -ef| grep myscript| awk 'NR > 1 {print $2}' | xargs kill

Make sure you only get the processes you want, ie. leave the xargs out for a moment and check it.
