DESCRIPTION

       pssh provides a number of commands for executing against a group of computers, using SSH. It's most useful for operating on clusters of
       homogenously-configured hosts.

       -L --localdir
	   output directory for remote file copies

       -h --hosts
	   hosts file (each line "host[:port] [user]")

       -l --user
	   username (OPTIONAL)

       -p --par
	   max number of parallel threads (OPTIONAL)

       -o --outdir
	   output directory for stdout files (OPTIONAL)

       -e --errdir
	   output directory for stderr files (OPTIONAL)

       -t --timeout

       -O --options
	   SSH options (OPTIONAL)

       -v --verbose
	   turn on warning and diagnostic messages (OPTIONAL)

EXAMPLE

       An example to copy /home/irb2/foo.txt from each host. Files gathered will be stored in /tmp/outdir/hostname/foo.txt.

	   # prallel-slurp -h hosts.txt -L /tmp/outdir -l irb2 
		    /home/irb2/foo.txt foo.txt

ENVIRONMENT

       All four programs take similar sets of options. All of these options can be set using the following environment variables:

       o   PSSH_HOSTS
       o   PSSH_USER
       o   PSSH_PAR
       o   PSSH_OUTDIR
