Are there security concerns? If not, double check your info for rsh, rlogin, .rhosts, or /etc/hosts.equiv. You may be missing a simple ingredient to get these commands to work.

If you can't get any of the remote command to work, you could try setting up a cron job on each remote system that waits for a specific file to be ftp'd over - along with a loop, sleep, and if statement which would allow it to stop trying after a specified time.

Or you could check into cfengine - not sure it would do exactly what you want. http://www.iu.hio.no/cfengine/
Just realize that it will make the changes you want and is as unforgiving as other UNIX commands.

FLUXBOX-REMOTE(1)						  Fluxbox Manual						 FLUXBOX-REMOTE(1)

NAME

       fluxbox-remote - command line access to key commands for fluxbox(1)

SYNOPSIS

       fluxbox-remote command

DESCRIPTION

       fluxbox-remote(1) is designed to allow scripts to execute most key commands from fluxbox(1). fluxbox-remote(1) will only work with
       fluxbox(1): its communications with fluxbox(1) are not standardized in any way. It is recommended that a standards-based tool such as
       wmctrl(1) be used whenever possible, in order for scripts to work with other window managers.

CAVEATS

       fluxbox-remote(1) uses the X11 protocol to communicate with fluxbox(1). Therefore, it is possible for any user with access to the X(7)
       server to use fluxbox-remote(1). For this reason, several key commands have been disabled. Users should be aware of the security
       implications when enabling fluxbox-remote(1), especially when using a forwarded X(7) connection.

RESOURCES

       session.screen0.allowRemoteActions: <boolean>
	   This resource in ~/.fluxbox/init must be set to 'true' in order for fluxbox-remote(1) to function. Please read the CAVEATS first.

ENVIRONMENT

       In order to communicate with fluxbox(1), the DISPLAY environment variable must be set properly. Usually, the value should be ':0.0'.
