One time I was able to enter the Linux admins aquarium (a place where IT and Linux SysAds are contained with secure door stuff). I saw a SysAdmin do its thing, which is, to run a deployment on 6 servers. I saw him having 6 terminals open and run command on one of the terminal, that was then replicated to other terminals (6 terminals for 6 servers). Cool it is.
I forgot the term but I know what was it about. It is about padding the same input to multiple terminals, be it a key stroke or a command being typed in (well it is still keystroke anyway). He is using Ubuntu probably and I forgot the name of the terminal he is using.
Being a Slackware user and a Konsole user, I was able to find similar functionality. Follow the following steps:
- Open Konsole tabs as many as you like.
- Prepare the Konsole tabs for your specified setup, ex: open tabs for multiple ssh sessions.
- On Konsole menu, click Edit -> Copy Input To -> Select Tabs.
- On the list of tabs, check the tabs you want to include on synchronizing input.
- Run command on the first tab and see the input being synchronized to other tabs.
Enjoy and share.
What about using clusterssh?
Thanks Lysender! Very usefull.
More than 10 years later, but I was looking exactly for that, thanks for sharing!
