ssh remote systems (See related posts)

// This little gem enables me to execute commands on a group of systems
// just run this script and put whatever commands you want after it.. eg
// script.sh uname -a
// and it will execute 'uname -a' on all the listed hosts. make sure you setup
// ssh keys so you don't have to type in a bunch of passwords.
