New to Bash Scripting - Service Restart

Question

All,

I am relatively new to bash scripting. I have been a Windows Admin for 10+ years and script various tasks in windows, but Linux is a different story. So any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

What I need to do is restart the sshd service on 30 ESX Servers. I certainly will not do this manually, so I can I restart the service on all 30 boxes with one script? the sshd service for esx in located in /etc/init.d/service sshd restart. Also root is disabled from ssh. So I assume I may need to pass credentials as the root user.

Thanks in advance.

Hey There,

Check this out. Basically, you just need to copy keys out to all your servers, so root can login without a password

There's another link on the site for how to run ssh in a loop if you have problems with that

Best wishes,
