You could use our "EZ" interface to slice creation and maintenance,
which can just do this for you. I just posted this to
planetlab-announce; not everyone gets that, despite its name:

For resource management reasons in crunch time, dynamic slices are
coming, whether you like them or not. Here's a reason to like them:
Rob has created a super-simple super-slick Web frontend to Emulab's
interface to PlanetLab. The frontend is not only EZ, it has a number
of handy features.
You can look at the two key Web pages to decide if it looks useful to you.
This 2-line Web form lets you create a slice on N PlanetLab nodes,
or on one node at each site, or on all of them:
http://www.emulab.net/plab_interface_mockup/plab_ez.html
The more advanced form is still "guaranteed EZ", but it lets you
specify other stuff, like tarballs and RPMs to distribute to all nodes
in your slice, a command to run on each node when it starts up, etc etc:

Hopefully PlanetLab management will let us share their account database,
and we're talking. Meanwhile, if you want to use this, sign up
for an account at http://www.emulab.net ; or if you already have one,
ask us to set your "plab-ok" bit.
-----
Also, if you update your RPMs or tarballs, you can push them out to
all your nodes with one click. Earlier you asked about synchronized
command startup: that is coming soon, when we finish extending our
event system to the wide-area. What we have now runs when the vserver
boots.
