Does AIX have a facility, like Telnet, to run scripts on multiple boxes?
Basically, I want to stop some services on boxes a, b, c, and backup a
database on box d. Then bring all the services back up.

I usually use something like this (untested and off the top of my
feverish head):

#!/bin/ksh

cmd=$1
shift
hosts=$@

for host in $hosts
do
ssh -l $host $cmd
done

Thanks. Unfortunately, we don't have the ssh daemon running. Everything is
telnet here.

Replace the ssh line provided in the script above with 'rsh $host $cmd'.
You'll need to have an appropriate .rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv file
setup to allow passwordless logins.

Dependant on what precisely the services are you could script the stop
and start routines for the services on a, b and c and use SRC to
remotely control them.

The System Resource Controller does have a facility for the remote
management of services.

I used to do something similar with IBM's ISS on AIX.
