Using ClusterSSH to simultaneously perform tasks on several machines

Quite frequently I need to do the same configuration steps on several machines. This can get really cumbersome if you do one machine after the other. However there is a cool tool, which let's you execute the commands on several machines simulataneously - ClusterSSH.

On Debian/Ubuntu you can install it using

# apt-get install clusterssh

Now you can either create a cluster file, which helps to administrate the same machines on different occasions, or you just run

# cssh username@machine1 username@machine2

to work on two machines simultaneously.

Additional infos can be found here
