As you might have guessed, I use Putty to manage our Linux system.  Right now 
we only have one, so I don't need "spray".

At the risk of giving out too much information:  I manage four LPARs running 
z/OS Unix (not by myself fortunately).  Two of these are not running most of 
the time, and the configurations are different enough that "spray" wouldn't be 
useful to me.  Also I have to use a 3270 emulator to log into TSO to edit 
BPXPRMxx and some other MVS datasets.

Just out of curiosity, how many people are managing their Linux servers
from a Windows workstation?  How many from Linux workstations?  How many
from others?

The reason I ask, is that I could never (and would never) use PuTTY to
manage more than one Linux server.  I've become completely dependent on
Konsole's ability to "spray" the input from one session to multiple
sessions.  Along with its Profile support, I click one icon and have 60+
sessions open, login to all 60+ servers at once, make my change to all
60+ servers at once, logout, go to a movie, come back to work and tell
the boss I just finished.

PuTTY's maintainer has official stated this is a worthless feature that
will never be included in PuTTY.

To stop the flames, I use PuTTY when I have to and love it for that.
