I would like to edit crontab entries on about 50 Systems thorugh
script and change the execution time of one particular script .

Any ideas on this.

If you have ssh on all these systems, there are tools like tentakel (and
probably others) that let you perform the same operation in parallel on
many systems.

All the commands are tested with bash and GNU tools, so they may use
nonstandard features. I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if
I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome.

I normally connect through rsh. rsh would be my preferred tool.

"Easy extensibility to allow for different remote methods (currently only
ssh and rsh are supported)".

(I purposely avoid commenting about rsh vs. ssh)
