Use a PPK Key with ssh -- password-free access to all hosts. The tool 'parallel' can manage the list.

To run remote programs without a password, presumably over ssh, you will need to arrange passwordless logins first.

I usually get it running for 'ssh localhost pwd' first, then copy the entire .ssh* directory to target hosts with 'scp -r'. The localhost entry will be wrong everywhere else, of course.

First thing is to setup rlogin or ssh. I prefer to use ssh.

This is a little script to get you started.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

HOSTLIST="<LIST OF HOST>"
DELAY=1
print -n Enter Command to process on remote Host -
read CMD
print
exec 4>&1

for HOST in $HOSTLIST ; do
echo "running ${CMD} on ${HOST}:"
ssh -t -t $HOST >&4 2>/dev/null |&
sleep $DELAY
print -p /usr/bin/nohup ${CMD}
sleep $DELAY
print -p exit
wait
echo "${CMD} completed on ${HOST} !"
done

exit 0

techy1: Why not just ssh username@host /usr/bin/nohup $CMD & ? That way you don't need to print into it using coprocess facilities...
