'tsshbatch' Version 1.137 is now released and available for download at: http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tsshbatch WHATSNEW For 'tsshbatch' 1.137 (Fri Feb 22 15:30:24 CST 2013) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Changed error reporting to place the entire message on a single line. - Changed the manner of error reporting to provide more specific detail. The original error messages could be misleading because both the inability to connect and an ssh rejection reported the exact same error. What Is 'tsshbatch'? ------------------ 'tsshbatch' is a tool to enable you to issue a command to many servers without having to log into each one separately. When writing scripts, this overcomes the 'ssh' limitation of not being able to specify the password on the command line. 'tsshbatch' also understands basic 'sudo' syntax and can be used to access a server, 'sudo' a command, and then exit. 'tsshbatch' thus allows you to write complex, hands-off scripts that issue commands to many servers without the tedium of manual login and 'sudo' promotion. System administrators, especially, will find this helpful when working in large server farms. 'tsshbatch' is written in Python and requires the 'paramiko library. It has been tested on various Linux and FreeBSD variants as well as cygwin on MS-Windows. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Complete details of all fixes, changes, and new features can be found in the WHATSNEW.txt and documentation files included in the distribution. A FreeBSD port has been submitted as well.
