How does one do batch or cron jobs that require rsh availablity to another
machine. Specifically, I want to have a nightly backup which basically does
a:
tar cvf - / | rsh backup_server "cat >/dev/tape_device"
as root every night. How does the batch job get tickets to do this. It also
scares me to have this automated "root" access to remote machines.
We would also consider setting up a special instance and process on the backup
server for doing this if it makes the job any easier/more secure.
Any ideas at all would be appreciated.
