Enabling X11Forwarding Remotely
When my developer installs a new build, all the servers have X11Forwarding turned off. I would like to write a script to execute from the main server in the suite and have it enable X11Forwarding on all the remote servers.

I created a script that I can execute as root to change the config file and restart the deamon. (The script is convieniently located in a directory that all the servers can mount to.) But... I need to log into 20 machines and su to root to execute it.

Is there a way I can ssh into each machine as root and execute the script?

I've tried something like...

foreach host ($hostlist)
ssh $host su - root -c /here/there/enable_X11script.sh
end


... and it complains about needing to execute in a standard tty.



Any help that would reduce the manual entry across 20 servers would be appreciated.

shunit2

SHUNIT2(1)																SHUNIT2(1)

NAME

       shunit2 - A unit test framework for shell scripts

SYNOPSIS

       shunit2 unitfile

DESCRIPTION

       shUnit2 is a xUnit unit test framework for Bourne based shell scripts, and it is designed to work in a similar manner to JUnit, PyUnit,
       etc.. If you have ever had the desire to write a unit test for a shell script, shUnit2 can do the job.

       You can either run shunit2 directly from the commandline and specify the unit file or directly source the shunit2 executable.

       If you directly execute shunit2 and don't specify a unitfile shunit2 assumes a empty testfile and will return without an error message.

EXAMPLE

       Simple script to test if 1 equals 1

	   #! /bin/sh
	   testEquality()
	   {
	     assertEquals 1 1
	   }

	   # load shunit2
	   . shunit2

       Execute shUnit2 unit tests directly from the commandline

	   shunit2 /path/to/unit/file

OPTIONS

       shunit2 does not support any commandline options at all. You can either source shunit2 to execute your unit tests or directly run shunit2
       as a commandline script.

SEE ALSO

       For more information see http://code.google.com/p/shunit2/ or have a look at the installed documentation in /usr/share/doc/shunit2/
