Installing Explorer package Remotely
I am by no means a scripting person, i understand the basics of Bash and some other shells. but i am still learning a great deal mostly from this site.
This is what i am basically trying to do. We have over 1000 sun Blade 1500 clients and 200+ V440, v210, V240 servers. I want the local sysadmin to run this script that will copy the explorer package from my server install it on the local client, then run it and upload the output to my local server when there is a problem so i do not have to remote in there to do this when I'm busy. I am the main sysadmin for all the clients and servers that i listed. All the other sites administrators do not root access nor can i give them to it. I tried creating a if then statement but i do not think it is working since i need to run pkgadd -d as root. Si the method of deploying this by IF and Then statements too hard? I do not have any remote software installed nor do i have pkginstall on the clients and servers and i am not that great with other shells and scripting languages. Also the kicker is i can not install or modify any of the clients or servers except for installing the explorer package that i have permission to install. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)
NAME
chsh - change your login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-u] [-v] [username]
DESCRIPTION
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one.
chsh is used to change local entries only. Use ypchsh, lchsh or any other implementation for non-local entries.
OPTIONS
-s, --shell shell
Specify your login shell.
-l, --list-shells
Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.
-u, --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.
VALID SHELLS
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the system. However, it will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in
the /etc/shells file. On the other hand, it can also be configured such that it will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you
are root.
EXIT STATUS
Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command syntax was not valid.
SEE ALSO
login(1), passwd(5), shells(5)
