Abstract :
This paper presents a method called Remote Maintenance Shell (RMS), developed for software management in large distributed environments. It allows software upgrading, testing and maintenance of several versions on a remote target system without suspending its regular operation. The method is based on the remote operations performed by cooperative mobile agents. A case study of software upgrading in the grid system is elaborated.
