crussh: a modern cssh replacement

Backstory

For anyone who needs to administrate clusters of many machines, 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.
  • Never resizes a terminal smaller than 80x24 characters.
  • 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 HOST [HOST ...]
