Sean, Well when I just run the 'yum update -y' it runs it just fine but the && poweroff runs on the local machine. Also I have another script that does the following: #!/bin/bash for server in $(cat serverlist.txt); do ssh $server.localdomain 'poweroff' done and also running that just powers off the host. It seems that it will execute all except the poweroff command on remote servers On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 9:37 PM, sean wrote: > Could a bad dns record or host entry point one of the lines in the file > back to itself? > > Is the yum update also being run on the host?
