Code:
#/usr/bin/sh
# This is a script to copy files from one host to a group of hosts

# There are three variables accepted via commandline
# $1 = first parameter (/source_path/source_filename)
# $2 = second parameter (/target_directory/)
# $3 = third paramter (file that contains list of hosts)

SOURCEFILE=$1
TARGETDIR=$2
HOSTFILE=$3

if [ -f $SOURCEFILE ]
then
   printf "File found, preparing to transfer\n"
   while read server
   do
      scp -p $SOURCEFILE ${server}:$TARGETDIR
   done < $HOSTFILE
else
   printf "File \"$SOURCEFILE\" not found\n"
   exit 0
fi

MKHOSTS(8)						      System Manager's Manual							MKHOSTS(8)

NAME
mkhosts - generate hashed host table SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mkhosts [ -v ] hostfile DESCRIPTION
Mkhosts is used to generated the hashed host database used by one version of the library routines gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname(). It is not used if host name translation is performed by named(8). If the -v option is supplied, each host will be listed as it is added. The file hostfile is usually /etc/hosts, and in any case must be in the format of /etc/hosts (see hosts(5)). Mkhosts will generate database files named hostfile.pag and hostfile.dir. The new database is build in a set of temporary files and only replaces the real database if the new one is built without errors. Mkhosts will exit with a non-zero exit code if any errors are detected. FILES
hostfile.pag - real database filenames hostfile.dir hostfile.new.pag - temporary database filenames hostfile.new.dir SEE ALSO
