try using a variable name for your list file ... the example below lets you use a different listfile from the command line but uses a default listfile if an argument is not set ... good for testing purposes or for one-offs ... enjoy!
Code:
#! /bin/ksh

listfile=$1
if [ ! -f $listfile ]
then
     listfile=/dir/listfile
fi

for host in `< $listfile`
do
    rcp -p /dir/script $host:/dir/script
    rsh $host "/dir/script"
    rcp -p $host:/dir/script/outfile /outdir/outfile.$host
done

exit 0

BTW, "cat listfile" and "< listfile" does the same thing in sh and ksh (and other shells) but the 2nd form is more efficient since it uses the shell's redirection properties instead of using an external program to read the contents of the file ... Smilie
