pssh needs man pages #10

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
There aren't any man pages for pssh, prsync, etc.  This would be very useful 
for users (and forgetful developers).

I've begun a preliminary man page, which has been checked in.  I really only 
have the
command-line syntax worked out, but at least I'm making progress.

The options for pssh are now included in the man page.  Now we just need an 
examples 
section and man pages for the other commands.

The pssh man page looks pretty good now.  It should now be adapted to create 
the man pages for the other commands.

The pssh package in Debian has some manpages already:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/pssh

I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't think it's appropriate to use the man 
pages from Debian:

1) As far as I can tell, these man pages were never contributed upstream, so 
they're not trivial to get access to.
2) I'm not sure who owns the copyrights to the man pages or what terms they're 
licensed under.
3) The files appear to be auto-generated, so I would want to have the originals.
4) They seem to be out of date, and there are errors like renaming pnuke to 
parallel-nuke, etc.

We now have a good pssh.1 man page, and it would be great to add man pages for 
the others, too. Unfortunately, I don't think it's as simple as copying the 
files from the Debian package.

Man pages for the remaining binaries are included in commit 846796e.
