pconsole

PCONSOLE(1)						      General Commands Manual						       PCONSOLE(1)

NAME

       pconsole - parallel console shell for administering clusters.

SYNOPSIS

       pconsole

DESCRIPTION

       pconsole  allows you to connect to each node of your cluster simultaneously, and you can type your administrative commands in a specialized
       window that 'multiplies' the input to each of the connections you have opened.  pconsole is best run from within X Windows, 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.

OPTIONS

       pconsole  need  to be executed with superuser permissions, and enters in interactive mode let you attach other devices so that all the com-
       mands sent to the console mode of pconsole are sent to the devices. This allows you to parallelize the execution of  the  same  command	in
       various machines at a time.

       pconsole has two working modes:

       command mode
	      From  this  mode pconsole can attach and dettach devices, list the attached devices at a time, connect to sending mode where you can
	      send commands to the attached devices, and quit.	To enter in command mode, use CTRL-A from sending mode.

       sending mode
	      The mode where the commands sent to it are sent to the devices attached.	To enter this mode use CTRL-D or use the console command.
