Description-en: parallel interactive shell console
pconsole allows you to connect to each node of your cluster (e.g. via
ssh or rsh) simultaneously by spawning one terminal per host or
job. Alternatively you can even connect to already existing terminal
sessions.
.
You can type your administrative commands either in a specialized
window that 'multiplies' the input to each of the connections you
have opened or use each of the connected terminals in case one host
or job needs some additional commands to be typed.
.
pconsole is best run from within X Window, although it is possible to
employ it without X (in console mode) as well. You need to install
pconsole on only 1 machine in the cluster, this would usually be your
central administrative node.
.
pconsole's X automatisms work well with window-managers which offer a
smart placement mode without resizing new windows or with a tiling
mode which resizes all windows to the same size.
.
It is known to work very well with FVWM and has proven less usable
with Awesome or Ratpoison. For usage with window-managers focussed on
full-screen applications like ratpoison, for parallel interactive SSH
sessions MultiSSH (package "mssh") is probably be the better choice
due to managing all SSH sessions in one application window.
