multi-rsh is a perl script which runs the same command on multiple machines, in parallel, and provides reasonable, adjustable timeouts for those machines which fail to answer. Both standard output and standard error are returned through the same channel, and all output has the hostname prepended to each line. Multi-rsh must be run as root (remote jobs can be set to run as any user, see Options below). ... Neither form allows you to directly pass input to the remote programs. ...
