dish

diligence/distributed shell for parallel sysadmin

Dish executes commands simultaneously on several systems via 'ssh', 'rsh', 'telnet', 'mysql', or any user-defined command-line connection client. It makes easy the distribution of files by 'scp' and 'rcp', but also a remote password change or operations requiring authentication by multiple passwords. Dish can be used as a flexible tool for managing large number of various types of hosts such as (clustered) servers, switches, databases, etc.
