Re^3: Multex - A Script For (Ex)ecuting The Same Command Across (Mult)iple Hosts

Hi,

Personally, I would avoid the entire rsh/rlogin/etc suite and use ssh (or similar). Other than that, I can see an issue with the script that don't appear to be an issue in your environment:

The script contacts servers A, B and C.
Server A completes the task, but server B doesn't respond... then Server C may not complete the task in the 'time window' if at all.
It would probably be better to spawn off the tasks to each individual server then display the output sequentially when the tasks are completed. That way the time is dramatically decreased.
This is assuming that B & C do not rely on the output of A.

You deserve the ++ I gave ya though :)

Hi Jason, We actually did move Multex away from rsh to ssh recently. It's much slower, but that's the price you pay, I guess.	[reply]
