I first tried building a compound rsh command, but our filer had too many qtrees (54 in 2 volumes) so the filer rejected the rsh command line as "too long".
Yeah, 1024-character limit on a command line. We manage to sneak in under the limit on all of our current filers so far, but I expect I'll have to toss in an xargs-like splitter to issue multiple rsh commands as necessary.
That prompted me to put the commands into a file and use the "source" command to run it.
I don't I would want to use that for my particular script (I don't depend on having the filer's root mounted on the host running the script), but I can think of several other uses for that command once we begin upgrading to 6.x.
