NAME¶
pconsole - parallel console shell for administering clusters.
SYNOPSIS¶
pconsole
DESCRIPTION¶
pconsole allows you to connect to each node of your cluster
simultaneously, and you can type your administrative commands in a specialized
window that ´multiplies´ the input to each of the connections
you have opened.
pconsole is best run from within X Windows, although
it is possible to employ it without X (in console mode) as well.
You need to install
pconsole on only 1 machine in the cluster, this would
usually be your central administrative node.
OPTIONS¶
pconsole need to be executed with superuser permissions, and enters in
interactive mode let you attach other devices so that all the commands sent to
the console mode of
pconsole are sent to the devices. This allows you
to parallelize the execution of the same command in various machines at a
time.
pconsole has two working modes:
- command mode
- From this mode pconsole can attach and dettach devices, list the
attached devices at a time, connect to sending mode where you can send
commands to the attached devices, and quit. To enter in command mode, use
CTRL-A from sending mode.
- sending mode
- The mode where the commands sent to it are sent to the devices attached.
To enter this mode use CTRL-D or use the console command.
