Re: [Jython-users] Safe Deployment

[charles c. <cc...@ps...>]

If you have progs on other machines that you want to 
start running, without knowing the details of what
you are doing, one way is just to "rsh" them into
existence and have them call back (via sockets)
to the master node/dispatching machine, which can
be running a daemon-communications server to handle
subsequent communications. You can mess around with
permissions to beef up security (like setuid to 
certain user when run).
