<p><i>tentakel</i> is a program for executing the same
command on many hosts in parallel using various remote
methods.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>It can make use of several sets of hosts that are defined
in a configuration file as groups.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The command is executed in parallel on all hosts in this
group. By default, every result is printed to stdout. The
output format can be defined for each group.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>If no command is specified <i>tentakel</i> goes into
interactive mode which can be used for repeated
commands.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The requirements on the remote hosts depend on the
selected remote method. The <i>ssh</i> method, for example,
needs a running sshd on the remote side. <i>tentakel</i>
itself only needs to be installed on the controlling
host.</p>
