DECnet and DCL procedures?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I would like to run a command procedure on all nodes on a cluster and get back
 the exit status as each is run.
 
SYSMAN is kind of OK but a real kludge to pass parameters to and batch jobs
 aren't easy to get the completion status of either.
 
Here's my transmogorphing of DECnet and DCL (altough I'm not running DECnet
 anymore, only IP)
 
$    CTX = ""
$    LOOP:
$       CSID = F$CSID(CTX)
$       IF (CSID.EQS."") THEN GOTO ELOOP
$       NODNAM = F$GETSYI("NODENAME",,CSID)
$       @NODNAM::SYS$MANAGER:ROUTINE.COM "P1"
$       IF $STATUS THEN GOSUB HANDLEIT
$       GOTO LOOP
 
I would appreciate an email reply if you can since I don't know when you would
 post your next ask the wizard column (PS: Support hasn't been able to give me
 a good answer on this one so I'm checking with the wizard)

The Answer is :

 
  Among the easiest approaches is the use of DCL DECnet task-to-task
  communications.  Please see the FAQ for details.
