I will look into what might be appropriate, but instead of hardcoding your cluster you could use the external cluster command to generate them on the fly
you could use the external cluster command to generate them on the fly
Interesting. I don't know how to do that though. Can you point me to where I can read more about this?
Using 4.04 or newer, look in the man page (cssh -H) for 'external_cluster_command' in the csshrc or .clusterssh.config file.
I'll mark this as closed. Any problems, reopen a ticket.
It would be great if there was a place (perhaps somewhere under the
Hosts
menu) where I could see simple counts of the total number of sessions, number of active sessions and number of inactive sessions.My setup is such that I need to connect to many different servers, and the number of servers changes every once-in-a-while. I usually update my clusters config file whenever the number of servers changes, but on one occasion I forgot to do that. This meant that I performed some updates on 15 servers, whereas I should have done it on 20.
Now, every time I launch
cssh
and add a cluster, I find myself manually counting the number of sessions under theHosts
menu, and checking that all of them are active. For added safety, I also count the terminal windows to ensure that I have the correct number of windows open.If
cssh
itself would just tell me these numbers somehow, it would save me a lot of time and effort.
