Tentakel is a program for executing the same command on many
hosts in parallel using various remote methods. It can make
use of several sets of hosts that are defined in a
configuration file as groups.

It also supports an interactive mode that can be used for
repeated commands.

The author uses tentakel to simultaneously install software
on many workstations or ask and set parameters on a linux
compute cluster. With the power of format strings tentakel
can also be used for monitoring purposes.

The only currently supported remote method is ssh. ssh must
be configured to allow for password-less logins.
Password-protected keyfiles can be used with ssh-agent(1).

For more information on available options please refer to
the manpage tentakel(1).
