Sorry didn't make myself clear.
The script would need modification to use "remsh" for each command and to take the computer name as a parameter. When we do this we also treat the local computer as a remote computer to keep the script consistent. For performance reasons it is preferable to execute the cleanup commands on the computer which owns the discs.

The NFS solution is an option but may not be practical because the central machine would need to maintain 100 sets of NFS mapped filesystems. What if there are 50 mountpoints to maintain on each remote server? Even with the automounter this would be a nightmare.

In the real world you would proliferate the script to each machine and execute it from cron.
