Wonders Of Cssh

If you need to run the same commands on multiple computers, then maybe you should be thinking about using puppet but if you only need to do a one time thing then there is clusters ssh aka cssh.

After a

apt-get install clusterssh

You can then start using it by simple typing

cssh server01 server02 etc etc

Another way to do it is include this in you .csshrc file

extra_cluster_file=~/.clusters

Then in you ~.clusters file you can add

qa 172.24.14.164 172.24.14.165 172.24.14.163 172.24.14.171 172.24.14.173
