Then have in mind that /school/ is the master data repository. This directory is exported on school laptop (using /mnt/server mountpoint).
Pssh is available and can send data in mass over the school laptops. use pssh -h /root/schoolPcs.pssh youCommand withArgs
Laptop are x86_64 linux machines
If you want to copy some data onto the school laptop
- copy your data into /school/data/TheGoodDirectory using ftp/scp/sftp from a machine onto the server
- tell students to copy the data into their homedir from /mnt/server/data/TheGoodDirectory
If you need to install a missing package
- pssh -h /root/schoolPcs.pssh yum install -y gsl.i686
Modify environment to add a software
- edit /school/etc/school.sh
- pssh -h cp -a /mnt/server/etc/school.sh /etc/profile.d/school.sh
- reload a new terminal (or reboot ?) on the school laptops
