Bug#590527: ITP: mussh -- MUltihost SSH Wrapper
Just weighing in (and subscribing to the bug), since I intend to sponsor the upload of this package for Jacob... Having multiple packages/variants that serve essentially the same purpose isn't a problem provided that the packages are actively maintained.

Or clusterssh ? Or mssh ? As I alluded to in the expanded description, earlier in this thread, there is a large difference between what dsh / mussh do and what mssh / clusterssh do. The latter are primarily for concurrent access, whereas the former simply run pre-decided commands or strings against a set of hosts. If you want to fiddle around with the same thing on a few hosts by hand, you might try to do it with mssh, but if you have a predefined set of utility scripts and you want to execute one of them against all 256 of your data center hosts, mussh is the tool for the job. My current employer uses mussh with a library of scripts for things like updating the same package on any host where it is pending, removing root keys of a retiring sysadmin from every host, quickly grabbing host information such as OS release or installed packages from sets of hosts, etc. We check out our host lists and utility scripts from subversion and then execute a command somewhat like this: ssh-add mussh -l root -H svn/linux.hosts -C svn/frob.script -m10 -b That's the extent of it, and whatever well-known thing frob.script does gets done as root on every server in linux.hosts 10 at a time with output returned grouped by host.

Hi Holger, On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 12:46:16AM -0400, Holger Levsen wrote: how is that different to dsh, already present in Debian? They are similar. They have even both been around for a fair while now without recent changes. I find mussh a little more convenient to use. Also, mussh is just one file written in bash, which is considerably simpler (and thus easier for people to modify to suit their needs). I don't know that either one is Amazingly Better than the other, but I do know a number of large organizations who are using mussh (it is packaged for Fedora) and I think having it in Debian would be to our benefit. :) By the way, here's the current description I'm using now: Description: MUltihost SSH Wrapper Mussh is a shell script that allows you to execute a command or script over ssh on multiple hosts with one command. When possible mussh will use ssh-agent and RSA/DSA keys to minimize the need to enter your password more than once. . Unlike clusterssh or mssh, mussh is just a shell script wrapper for ssh with concurrency support. It is intended to make running identical commands or scripts on almost any number of hosts possible with minimal overhead. There is no GUI and the only language used is bash.
