Node Order for rundeck

[Richard Leadbetter]

Hi All

I was wondering if there was an easy way to define the order that nodes run (assuming executing one at a time). 

I have a Linux deployment that i am automating the patching for but thej application that sits across these servers needs to have each server patched and rebooted in a specific order, any thoughts on how i get a nice order without just putting 1. 2. 3. 4. etc at the start or each nodes name?

(My backup option on this is the patch all the servers, then have a sub job trigger that is "hard coded" to reboot the servers in order, then that triggers another sub job that does the service checks and validations, ideally just want to have the nodes steps do patch - reboot - service check all is one, but the nodes run in a specific order). 

Thanks

Rich

Perfect!!! I'll put something into my hosts discovery script to set a rank attribute.

You guys really are great! thanks for all your help. 

Hopefully once i get everything setup the business will finally cave and pay for enterprise :)

Thanks again
