Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Best way to connect to hundreds of nodes and grep log files Post 302778383 by jim mcnamara on Sunday 10th of March 2013 09:58:39 PM

There is GNU parallel. It will run a series of commands for you at the same time. I do not recommend hundreds of ssh sessions at once. Keep it down to a reasonable limit.

GNU Parallel - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation

Modern shells also support a way to achieve this. bash example:

Code:
cnt=0
while read nodename
do
   cnt=$(( $cnt + 1 ))
   ssh $nodename 'grep "warning" *log' > $nodename.log &
   [  $(( $cnt % 10 )) -eq  0 ] && wait
done < listofnodes.txt

This runs ten operations of the command at one time.
