crussh: a modern cssh replacement
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- Run ./crussh.py hostname [hostname ...]
