Remote desktop for mac unix commands
So Ive been a bit confused dealing with ssh keys or something else, who knows maybe someone can help.
I run a set of computers on a network which are all running mac os x lion. I have a lion server serving them all up. I run remote desktop to update them and do anything else "tech"
support needed.
Here is my problem:
I need to write a line of unix commands that I can put into apple's program Remote Desktop. The reason is so that when I type in the command or my boss does, that all the computers will login. I figured that ssh keys with a root command would be good but terrible with security. If anyone has any other ideas.
The only downside to remote desktops unix command line is that it isn't actually a "terminal" so you can't install programs into the command line to run them like "sshsudo" or any of those programs.
Help please?
I have tried everything I know, but i am only a college student i have much to learn from the more skilled and professional in this field.
Thanks,
Jamie

net::arp
ARP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation ARP(3pm)
NAME
ARP - Perl extension for creating ARP packets
SYNOPSIS
use Net::ARP;
Net::ARP::send_packet('lo', # Device
'127.0.0.1', # Source IP
'127.0.0.1', # Destination IP
'aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc', # Source MAC
'aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc', # Destinaton MAC
'reply'); # ARP operation
$mac = Net::ARP::get_mac("eth0");
print "$mac
";
$mac = Net::ARP::arp_lookup($dev,"192.168.1.1");
print "192.168.1.1 has got mac $mac
";
IMPORTANT
Version 1.0 will break with the API of PRE-1.0 versions, because the return value of arp_lookup() and get_mac() will no longer be passed as
parameter, but returned! I hope this decision is ok as long as we get a cleaner and more perlish API.
DESCRIPTION
This module can be used to create and send ARP packets and to get the mac address of an ethernet interface or ip address.
send_packet()
Net::ARP::send_packet('lo', # Device
'127.0.0.1', # Source IP
'127.0.0.1', # Destination IP
'aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc', # Source MAC
'aa:bb:cc:aa:bb:cc', # Destinaton MAC
'reply'); # ARP operation
I think this is self documentating.
ARP operation can be one of the following values:
request, reply, revrequest, revreply, invrequest, invreply.
The default ARP operation is reply.
get_mac()
$mac = Net::ARP::get_mac("eth0");
This gets the MAC address of the eth0 interface and stores
it in the variable $mac. The return value is "unknown" if
the mac cannot be looked up.
arp_lookup()
$mac = Net::ARP::arp_lookup($dev,"192.168.1.1");
This looks up the MAC address for the ip address 192.168.1.1
and stores it in the variable $mac. The return value is
"unknown" if the mac cannot be looked up.
