I would like to make a grid like network with few servers running Linux. Where I have a central node which should be able to schedule/execute commands on other nodes.
The central node has credentials with administrative privileges in the subnet, but I’m new to Linux, so I don’t know what ?RPC? mechanisms I could use to perform the remote tasks.
Is there a tunnel, or network based command piping I could use? What keywords I should look for in Google?
If I could launch shell scripts on the remote node from the central node, I could do everything I need.
