I am managing one workstation and think of a maximum of 5 workstations running Ubuntu-based Linux Mint. My own, controlling Computer is also running Mint. What is a good way to queue commands and have them executed when the host comes online?
The following requirements should be met:
- Add/remove commands from queue when workstation is offline (local queue)
- output and exit code should be logged or mailed (on my local computer)
- keep it simple: no big management software or web interfaces
I am already thinking about at
. I could transmit the commands to the remote at
queue using batch
and have them run when the system idles. But I am not sure if the remote atq is persistent when the user suddenly shut's the down the workstation.
Is there a software or best-practise for this?
