You can either do this in a bash shell script or perl.
It needs to read from a flat file that contain a list of hostnames. Something like super1-10.xxx.com. Then ssh into each of of these machines on the list. The goal is to verify that you can indeed ssh into each machines without any problem. Maybe launch a small process and verify the process is running and then kill it. Report a list of machines that you can ssh into.
No worries on the password, the host will have all the keys for all the machines.
This is the scope for now. Will have follow up project after this. Thanks.
