Need some expert advise on running scripts.
We have couple of scripts made for our environment (which is Oracle Virtulisation ) .
Each script is assigned a different task .
Some of the scripts are meant to run on centralized server for monitoring other Servers resource utilization such as CPU,Storage.
While some are meant to run on Server for getting server specific jobs.
Almost all scripts run using root credentials.
The script which takes output from other servers .
I have used ssh password less login using rsa keygen generated for root.
have below queries regarding the environment.
1)Will it be a good idea to make a rpm out of those scripts and maintain a version control.
2)How do i avoid root usage ?
As the environment is build on xen virtual technology and most commands only run using root.
3)Is there any other way of doing it?

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and
stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start
command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
