More generalized: a framework that would let you write scripts like the one Joe described below.
types of actions it would be great to script -------------- * connect to the internet * verify connection * olpc-update * check current build * run something in Terminal Activity or in the VT - this would allow you to do all sorts of stuff, like netstat and pwr-log, and hook in other test tools - including gui test tools that can be called from terminal. * in order to do the above, it'd help to be able to wget/yum-install packages/scripts on the remote XO, and scp logs back up to somewhere afterwards (this should be doable if you can remotely ssh in as root). when run, this framework would -------------- * remotely login to every listed laptop * run your script * report results -Mel Joseph A.
