[ale] Remote Shell Question

I worked on a system in which we had to run stuff in parallel on 10-20
nodes (AIX midrange servers) - all our $HOME and the script directories
were on the NFS. We used to login on one of the nodes, start the process
on that node - it would then spawn  processes on the rest of the nodes.
So which ever node you logged into landed you in the same directory and
all the scripts were accessible to you on the same path.
