Description

ClusterSSH controls a number of xterm windows via a single graphical console window to allow commands to be interactively run on multiple servers over an ssh connection.

at http://sourceforge.net/projects/clusterssh/

1) Install clusterssh via aptitute install clusterssh

2) Add the following to $HOME/.csshrc

terminal_args = -fg green
terminal_font = 7x14
clusters = controls jhlee risp
controls = ctrluser@ctrlpc1 ctrluser@ctrlsv1
jhlee = jhlee@jhleepc

2-1) From version 4, .csshrc was removed, the configuration was split into two files -clusters and config in ~/.clusterssh/ .  Here is the clusters file

# Tag definitions moved from old .csshrc file
controls ctrluser@ctrlpc1 ctrluser@ctrlsv1
jhlee jhlee@jhleepc
risp jhlee@halla

And the config file is

auto_close=5
auto_quit=yes
command=
comms=ssh
console_position=
debug=0
extra_cluster_file=--------/.clusterssh/clusters
history_height=10
history_width=40
key_addhost=Control-Shift-plus
key_clientname=Alt-n
key_history=Alt-h
key_paste=Control-v
key_quit=Control-q
key_retilehosts=Alt-r
lang=en
max_addhost_menu_cluster_items=6
max_host_menu_items=30
menu_host_autotearoff=0
menu_send_autotearoff=0
mouse_paste=Button-2
rsh_args=
screen_reserve_bottom=60
screen_reserve_left=0
screen_reserve_right=0
screen_reserve_top=0
send_menu_xml_file=------/.csshrc_send_menu
show_history=0
ssh=/usr/bin/ssh
ssh_args=
telnet_args=
terminal=/usr/bin/xterm
terminal_allow_send_events=-xrm '*.VT100.allowSendEvents:true'
terminal_args=-fg green
terminal_bg_style=dark
terminal_colorize=1
terminal_decoration_height=10
terminal_decoration_width=8
terminal_font=7x14
terminal_reserve_bottom=0
terminal_reserve_left=5
terminal_reserve_right=0
terminal_reserve_top=5
terminal_size=80x24
terminal_title_opt=-T
title=CSSH
unmap_on_redraw=no
use_all_a_records=0
use_hotkeys=yes
window_tiling=yes
window_tiling_direction=right
