I need to run a simple one-line command on a few dozen macs. I only need to do this once.
They are all running Mountain Lion, except for the server that manages them, which is running Lion Server.
They are all in the same logical group in Workgroup Manager but I didn't see anything useful. Since this is a managed environment, is there a way to push a script through?

From the command line of the management server you could do something like:
user@server:~ # for i in `cat list_of_clients.txt` ; do ssh "$i" "/path/to/command" ; done

Had trouble getting this to work until using the -t flag. – Louis – 2014-01-28T18:06:04.137

This is trivial to do with Apple Remote Desktop via the Send to UNIX... command. @gurple's answer will work if you have key pairs exchanged, or don't mind typing the password to each machine (a few dozen times sounds like an ARD purchase would be justified).

Do you have ssh access to the machines? – terdon – 2014-01-23T20:46:46.523
@terdon Yes, I do. – Louis – 2014-01-23T21:14:12.980
