Description Daniel Webert 2004-08-21 08:47:23 UTC 
x11-terms/pssh-1.0 ebuild request

http://www.theether.org/pssh/

pssh provides parallel versions of the OpenSSH tools that are useful for controlling large numbers of machine simultaneously. It includes parallel versions of ssh, scp, and rsync, as well as a parallel kill command.

What are these tools good for? Mainly for controlling large collections on nodes in the wide-area, where faster alternatives such as GEXEC and PCP are not available. For example, I use these tools on a fairly routine basis on PlanetLab to control hundreds of machines spread around the world.
