I'd have to agree with the PuTTY maintainers. This seems like a dangerous "feature" to me; While being able to send the same command to 60+ servers is a good idea, sending two commands in a row to 60+ servers wouldn't be. You're making the assumption that the first command worked, and worked the way you expected it to, on all 60+ servers. If it failed on any one server, then the next command could be the beginnings of a complete disaster.
I'd much rather have a tool that could send a command or script to the 60 servers, and then report back to me centrally the results of those 60 commands, especially any results that didn't agree with what I expected them to be. To "blindly" send 60 commands and hope that they all worked, and then "go to the movies" would put me into cardiac arrest. I guess your mileage may vary.... -- Robert P.

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. 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-fanout.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
