Heya-

Trigger has a bundled tool called "run_cmds" that does exactly this. It can SSH/telnet to any number of devices that you specify and run any commands you specify! 

$ run_cmds -h

Usage: run_cmds [options]

Run commands on network devices.

Options:

  --version             show program's version number and exit

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -d DEVICES, --devices=DEVICES

                        Comma-separated list of devices.

  -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG

                        Comma-separated list of config statements.  If your

                        commands have spaces, either enclose the command in "

                        or escape the spaces with \

  -D DEVICE_FILE, --device-file=DEVICE_FILE

                        Specify file with list of devices.

  -C CONFIG_FILE, --config-file=CONFIG_FILE

                        Specify file with list of config statements.  The file

                        MUST be in a tftp directory (/home/tftp/<subdir>). The

                        fully-qualified path MUST be specified in the

                        argument. Do NOT include "conf t" or "wr mem" in your

                        file. ** If both -c and -C options specified, then -c

                        will execute first, followed by -C

  -p DEVICE_PATH, --device-path=DEVICE_PATH

                        Specify dir with a file named for each device.

                        Contents of each file must be list of commands. that

                        you want to run for the device that shares its name

                        with the file. ** May NOT be used with -d,-c,-D,-C **

  -q, --quiet           suppress all standard output; errors/warnings still

                        display.

  -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS  maximum simultaneous connections (default 5).

  -t TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT

                        Time in seconds to wait for each command to

                        complete (default 30).

  -v, --verbose         verbose output.

  -V, --debug           debug output.

  --push                actually do stuff.  Default is False.
