Got to love the pop-ups in the middle of the work day that say they have applied some new patch and my workstation will be rebooting in 2 minutes... *sigh* Anyway, I use Cygwin/X. Putty is not very useful for managing large numbers of servers, but I do use it in one-off situations. -Sam -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kohrs, Steven Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 11:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Putty users On Wed, 2005-02-09 at 10:28, Fargusson.Alan wrote: > Just one caution: you should have a current backup of you system before you import into the registry.

How many from Linux workstations? How many from others? The reason I ask, is that I could never (and would never) use PuTTY to manage more than one Linux server. I've become completely dependent on Konsole's ability to "spray" the input from one session to multiple sessions. Along with its Profile support, I click one icon and have 60+ sessions open, login to all 60+ servers at once, make my change to all 60+ servers at once, logout, go to a movie, come back to work and tell the boss I just finished. For doing all that, there is a great tool called Stem by Uri Guttman. Stem can be installed on the machines you want to control. You can broadcast messages to perl modules so they do some processing at the nodes. It is good for log accumulation, distributed network processing, distributed scheduling and so on. PuTTY's maintainer has official stated this is a worthless feature that will never be included in PuTTY. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/terminal-fano ut.html To stop the flames, I use PuTTY when I have to and love it for that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
