tentakel INSTALL

Installation process:

  # cd tentakel-0.3/
  # make install

This installs tentakel into $PREFIX/bin and the manpages into $PREFIX/man/.
PREFIX is set to /usr/local by default which may be overridden like this:

  # PREFIX=/usr/local2 make install

There are several software packages that need to be installed in order to
use tentakel:

 * mktemp
 * ssh or rsh
 * sed

These must all be in your environment's PATH.

If you want to use rsh instead of ssh (which is the default) you need to
change the RSH variable in the script itself. In future releases when
different remote methods are implemented this will be handled on a per-host
basis in a much more flexible way.

You have to create the directory $HOME/.tentakel and put a default hostlist
into it. See the example hostlist hostlist.example.
