Tentakel Description

Tentakel is a program for executing the same command on many hosts in parallel using ssh. Tentakel is a program for executing the same command on many hosts in parallel using ssh. Tentakel aims to be useful mainly for administration purposes.Here are some key features of "Tentakel":· Parallel execution of commands on several hosts.· Format strings that control how the output of the remote commands is about to be displayed and how the output of different hosts should be separated from each other.· A powerful configuration file that can be used to define groups of hosts. Such groups can contain other groups. Each group can be assigned a remote method, a username and a format string.· Easy extensibility to allow for different remote methods (currently only ssh and rsh are supported).What's New in This Release:· A plugin mechanism, allowing users to easily create their own remote methods.· The maxparallel parameter allows one to restrict the number of concurrently running threads, to avoid too much load on download servers and such. This feature can make tentakel a lot faster under certain circumstances.· Exit status of remote commands executed via rsh can now be determined.· This release has been tested on the following systems: Debian sarge, RedHat 8, FreeBSD 5.3, Solaris 10/sparc64.· Lots of bugfixes and code cleanup.
