How do admins handle a situation with many boxes like 50 for example. If I wish to tell 50 boxes to run a handful of commands - how is that done? (I mean without actually logging into 1,2,3,4...X and executing the commands)

Puppet ensures configs are in sync, and dsh allows us to run 1 off commands across all our hosts in parallel.
