Backstory

|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For anyone who needs to administrate clusters of many machines,
|
|
|
|
|
[clusterssh](http://sourceforge.net/projects/clusterssh/) has long been a
|
|
|
|
|
fallback for when the rest of your automation tools aren't working.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, cssh has a number of deficiencies in modern environments:

|
|
|
- Doesn't play nice with window placement of modern window managers.
|
|
|
|
|
- Doesn't play nice with modern toolkits' copy and paste behaviour.
|
|
|
|
|
- Gets a bit screwy when there's more terminals than can fit on-screen.
|
|
|
|
|
- Doesn't support nice antialiased fonts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
crussh aims to be a simple replacement for cssh that corrects these
|
|
|
|
|
problems. It does so with the following features:

|
|
|
- Uses a single window to hold multiple terminals.
|
|
|
|
|
- Intelligently tiles terminals to fit available window size.
|
|
|
|
|
- Scrolls available terminals when they don't all fit in-window.
|
2012-03-14 23:59:57 +00:00
|
|
|
- Never resizes a terminal smaller than 80x24 characters.
|
2012-03-14 23:45:41 +00:00
|
|
|
- Uses GTK and the VTE widget to provide modern, anti-aliased terminals.

Install
|
|
|
|

The install process is very simple on most distros:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Install python2, python-gtk2, and python-vte.
|

Usage Tips
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doing a clustered paste isn't completely obvious. The following methods will work:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- middle click or shift-insert to paste the X11 selection buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
- control-shift-v to paste the GTK/GNOME clipboard.
