Wow, I should have known the hobbit client would have been this clean
already ;)

Real world:

[hobbit at myhost bin]# cat hobbitremote.sh
#!/bin/sh -x

CLIENT="myclient"
CLIENTOS="aix"

echo "client $CLIENT.$CLIENTOS" >/tmp/msg-$CLIENT.txt
ssh bb@$CLIENT < /usr/local/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-$CLIENTOS.sh
>>/tmp/msg-$CLIENT.txt
#$BB $BBDISP "@" </tmp/msg-$CLIENT.txt

[hobbit at dev1 bin]# time ./hobbitremote.sh
CLIENT=aixserver
CLIENTOS=aix
+ echo client aixserver.aix
+ ssh bb at aixserver

Seven seconds.  But I am pretty sure 5 of that is the ps of the machine.

Needless to say, this would need to be parallel processed to handle
scaling, but its awesome how easy the proof of concept was.
