Bug

Thanks for the reply..but the number of clients is not fixed. Server will ping the client's host name one by one and will install the package on the clients till it reaches the last client. Host name of clients is C1, C2, .......C200 for which a function has already been written which is as follows :
=====================================================
Code:
function findClients() {
    local ClientnotReachable=
    echo -n "Finding online Client...: "
    do
    echo "Client No: $Client"
    ping -c 1 -W 1 p$Client >/dev/null 2>&1
    local ret=$?
    if [ $ret = 0 ]; then
      Clients="${Clients}P${Client} "
      echo -n "$Client "
    elif [ $ret = 1 ]; then
      ClientnotReachable="${ClientnotReachable}Client${Client} "
      echo -n ". "
    elif [ $ret = 2 ]; then
      # no entry found in /etc/hosts or from DNS
      ClientnotReachable="${ClientnotReachable}Client${Client} "
      echo -n ". "
    fi
  done
  echo
  if [ ! -z "$ClientnotReachable" ]; then
    echo "Following Client are not reachable: $ClientnotReachable"
  fi
}

findClients
for Client in $Clients; do
echo -n "$Client " >t
ssh root@$Client "tar -xvf /lib/modules/2.6.20.1/modules-2.6.20.1.tar"> h.txt
done

=====================================================
This my entire script...in the first part, server will check for online clients and in the 2nd part, it perform the required action but for every ssh login to a client, it asks for the password.

RT::Client::REST::Exception(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			  RT::Client::REST::Exception(3pm)

NAME
RT::Client::REST::Exception -- exceptions thrown by RT::Client::REST methods. DESCRIPTION
These are exceptions that are thrown by various RT::Client::REST methods. EXCEPTION HIERARCHY
RT::Client::REST::Exception This exception is virtual -- it is never thrown. It is used to group all the exceptions in this category. RT::Client::REST::OddNumberOfArgumentsException This means that the method you called wants key-value pairs. RT::Client::REST::InvaildObjectTypeException Thrown when you specify an invalid type to "show()", "edit()", or "search()" methods. RT::Client::REST::RequiredAttributeUnsetException An operation failed because a required attribute was not set in the object. RT::Client::REST::MalformedRTResponseException RT server sent response that we cannot parse. This may very well mean a bug in this client, so if you get this exception, some debug information mailed to the author would be appreciated. RT::Client::REST::InvalidParameterValueException Invalid value for comments, link types, object IDs, etc. RT::Client::REST::CannotReadAttachmentException Cannot read attachment (thrown from methods "comment()" and "correspond"). RT::Client::REST::RTException This is a virtual exception and is never thrown. It is used to group exceptions thrown because RT server returns an error. RT::Client::REST::ObjectNotFoundException One or more of the specified objects was not found. RT::Client::REST::AuthenticationFailureException Incorrect username or password. RT::Client::REST::UpdateException This is a virtual exception. It is used to group exceptions thrown when RT server returns an error trying to update an object. RT::Client::REST::CouldNotSetAttributeException For one or another reason, attribute could not be updated with the new value. RT::Client::REST::InvalidEmailAddressException Invalid e-mail address specified. RT::Client::REST::AlreadyCurrentValueException The attribute you are trying to update already has this value. I do not know why RT insists on treating this as an exception, but since it does so, so should the client. You can probably safely catch and throw away this exception in your code. RT::Client::REST::ImmutableFieldException Trying to update an immutable field (such as "last_updated", for example). RT::Client::REST::IllegalValueException Illegal value for attribute was specified. RT::Client::REST::UnknownCustomFieldException Unknown custom field was specified in the request. RT::Client::REST::InvalidQueryException Server could not parse the search query. RT::Client::REST::UnauthorizedActionException You are not authorized to perform this action. RT::Client::REST::AlreadyTicketOwnerException The owner you are trying to assign to a ticket is already the owner. This exception is usually thrown by methods "take()", "untake", and "steal", if the operation is a noop. RT::Client::REST::RequestTimedOutException Request timed out. RT::Client::REST::UnknownRTException Some other RT exception that the driver cannot recognize. METHODS
_get_exception_class Figure out exception class based on content returned by RT. _rt_content_to_exception Translate error string returned by RT server into an exception object ready to be thrown. SEE ALSO
