I have been asked by a number of you to forward the full responses
of what I received, so at the risk of using too much band width here goes:
Thanks everyone!

Hurro,
Unless the original poster had his/her own script, you can use
the rdist program that comes with the Sun.
I haven't used it myself but I know it can copy files based on
a Distfile that defines the files and the remote stations as
well as the ownership of the file on the remote node.
Ciao for now,
kevin

If you've got the process slots, just start up all your rcp's in the
background.
Personally, I do them serially, but background them anyway, so I can
kill them if a machine is down, without having to wait for the full
timeout.

If it doesn't need to be exactly simultaneous, why not use rdist
to distribute your files?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
For copying files to multiple sites you might want to take a look
at rdist, especially if you will not always need to copy/update all
of the files (it's sort of like a 'make' for rcp).

Have you investigated the 'rdist' system that already comes with unix?
