rsh to several servers in script doesnt work

HEy EveryOne,

I'm not really a "Scripter" Im a mere admin looking to MAke mY job Easier. We have about 15 Servers in our system. We have to log onto each server 5 times daily and run 2 simple commands; mount and df. Its really simple. I want to incorporate these silly commands into a script so we dont have to log on to each machine individually....then possibly create a cron job.

Here's what i'm trying to do....

#!/bin/ksh
#
#
rsh server1
echo you are now on server1
df -k
sleep 3
mount -p
sleep 3
exit
rsh server2
echo you are now on server2
df -k
sleep 3
mount -p
sleep 3
exit
and so on and so forth....

But what happens is - Ill run the script and it will rsh to the server but it wont execute the commands until i type exit from the server i Remote Shelled into. I dont know what to do from here. I came here because i heard this is the forum where all the really smart people hang out. Can a really smart person help me out?

Thanks!

Appreciate your help.

IF you are trying to manage with multiple servers then the control must be there with the executing server only.

server -----> server1
-----> servern

So simply as,


rsh server1 "df -k;mount -p"

It will give results there without login into the system.
