ABSTRACT:
A method for use in a parallel distributed computing system having a plurality of processors connected in a network of nodes, each node having software installed thereon, and a control workstation controlling the nodes in the network. A list of the levels of the software installed at each node is stored at the control workstation. A list of software subsystems affected by a command to be executed is stored at the nodes of the network, including the control workstation. In addition, a control script for each of said software subsystems is stored at the nodes, including the control workstation. Each control script provides a routine to be followed for the associated subsystem on the associated node or control workstation during the execution of the command. Since the control scripts are compatible with the level of software installed on the target node, the command will be performed such as to be compatible with the software installed on the target node.
