Tentakel - useful for distributed ssh command

Tentakel is a program for executing the same command on many hosts in parallel using ssh.

On my ubuntu i installed this way  ( stable version had some issues  with python2.5)

1.take the code from svn

svn co http://svn.tuebingen.mpg.de/tentakel/trunk/
cd trunk/tentakel/

2. install
make; make install
3. configure all your groups and hosts  hosts (and split them in groups: web, db, local)

sudo cp tentakel.conf.example /etc/tentakel.conf


Here is how can be used this command line

tentakel -g localhosts 'df -h'
