how to delete files on two remote servers simultaneously?

dear all,

i'm preparing a script which can do these actions :

1. stop remove server's certain service
2. clean the files on remote servers simultaneously (because lots of files need to be deleted)
3. after files/logs are removed, restart the service again

i'm stuck on how to clean remote servers's files at the same time to save time.

this is the code i have right now :
(by the way, i have setup the auto ssh-login mechanism, thus, passwd is not necessary when running ssh command)

Code:

MAILERS=(192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2)

# stop service
for ((index=0; index<${#MAILERS[@]}; index++)); do
   ssh ${MAILERS[$index]} "service my_service stop"
done

# delete those files matching $1 variable
for ((index=0; index<${#MAILERS[@]}; index++)); do
   ssh ${MAILERS[$index]} "find /path -name '*$1*' -exec rm {} \;"
done

# start the service again
for ((index=0; index<${#MAILERS[@]}; index++)); do
   ssh ${MAILERS[$index]} "service my_service start"
done

to be more specific, how to run the "find-exec-rm" command on both servers simultaneously?

just put the & in end of it is not what i want...

any advice on this? Thanks.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

bpcpd

BPCPD(1)							 CFDP executables							  BPCPD(1)

NAME

       bpcpd - ION Delay Tolerant Networking remote file copy daemon

SYNOPSIS

       bpcpd [-d | -v]

DESCRIPTION

       bpcpd is the daemon for bpcp. Together these programs copy files between hosts utilizing NASA JPL's Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) to
       provide a delay tolerant network.

       The options are permitted as follows:

	    -d	Debug output. Repeat for increased verbosity.

	    -v	Display version information.

       bpcpd must be running in order to copy files from this host to another host (i.e. remote to local). Copies in the other direction (local to
       remote) do not require bpcpd. Further, bpcpd should NOT be run simultaneously with bpcp or cfdptest.

EXIT STATUS

       0   bpcpd terminated normally.

       1   bpcpd terminated abnormally. Check console and the ion.log file for error messages.

FILES

       No configuration files are needed.

ENVIRONMENT

       No environment variables apply.

BUGS
