i am new to RHEL 4. is there anyway to write script file to shutdown/reboot/ and poweron/poweroff the 50 systems form a single system.

Yes if you have a ssh access.

any sample script file please help me

To manipulate a 50 system from a single system you need to enable your ssh server.
Im a mandriva user. And im using some command line when i want to a reboot/ power off a certain system
in a far location.
example: halt - command computer to shutdown
reboot - command computer to restart

Hope this one helps.

i am using ssh mode to shutdown from script but i have to enter password for each machine

one of my script line is below

ssh root@192.168.34.184 halt

Use ssh keys.

To automate this task try to use expect command
