vxargs is an utility inspired in xargs and pssh. It provides a parallel
|
|
versions of any arbitrary command, including ssh, rsync, scp, wget or
|
|
curl, just to mention a few.
|
|
|
|
It is specially useful to control a large set of machines in a wide-area
|
|
network. For example, it can be used on PlanetLab to control hundreds of
|
|
machines spread around the world.
|
|
|
|
Its main features are:
|
|
* Parallelism: Runs many jobs at the same time.
|
|
* Flexibility: Runs arbitrary commands with arbitrary options.
|
|
* Visualization: Monitors the total/per job progress in a curses-based UI.
|
|
* Redirection: The standard and error outputs of each individual job are
|
|
redirected to local files for further analysis.
