Hi thad, you might want to try the following (assuming the client is from a trusted host):
- loop the ssh client command based on the number of target host. - write / copy (scp) the script to the destination host and directory. - append the script on crontab. loop: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] $command * where $command: "echo $bash_codes >> /cron.daily/script.sh " or "echo $bash_codes >> /destination/script.sh ; echo * * * * /destination/script.sh >> /etc/crontab" if you're planning to script from a redmond-based workstation, you can use the "plink.exe" from the putty-suite of ssh clients. plink also allows the series of remote commands to be read from a test file. plink.exe [EMAIL PROTECTED] -m commands.txt HTH.

Hi list, Can anybody provide a script or pointer, I have a bunch of hosts and I need to add the crontab a job schedule. What I want to do is a ssh script that will edit cron for each trusted host and add the job schedule. Thanks in advance. thad
