I am very new to OSX and anything UNIX. I have 8 computers that I would like to run a repair permissions on whenever I run a script. I know how to ssh into the others and run it from the command line, but is there a way that just running a single script will repair permissions on one computer, then move on to the next, and so on?

The 'ssh' command takes an optional "command" argument and runs this command on the remote computer. You could use this to run whatever command you wanted on the various computers simply by invoking the 'ssh' in sequence in a script.
But please note that repairing permissions is not something that needs to be done as a regular maintenance task on OS X. You should only do it when something is not working and you suspect it might be a permission issue.
