If one have many systems, one can use a shellscript with one ssh command on each line.

The advantage of using urpmi's "--parallel" option is that the "--parallel" option only downloads one file that are distributed to the nodes, 
whereas my command will download three copies, one on each machine. So unless one have a local mirror or use an urpmi proxy, my command example will download three copies of each updated package over the internet connection.
