David-
Thank you for the suggestion - I just looked at Puppet, Chef, CFengine or Salt - however, they all are new to me. I should probably stick with Expect, tcl/tk since I already spent some time in learning these.
If there is any suggestion about Expect, Tcl/Tk from any list members, please advise/teach me. Thank you
Sincerely,

Hello Nathan,
That sounds like what a configuration management software can do. Have looked into Puppet, Chef, CFEngine or Salt?
You can get a nice comparison of these software and related links from Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_configuration_management_software
