Cannot Save Hosts as Cluster

[stone212]

I was using the GUI and I manually have to add each host. Once I have all of my hosts open, I woul dlike to save this as a cluster.

I have not had any success with a config file. Basically I cannot create clusters in any way. If there is a good reference on how to create clusters with the config file, I would appreciate a link.

Still, the above would be an excellent feature to have. Creating a cluster from the GUI.

Interesting idea, saving the current cluster out to the config file - I will think on how best to achieve this.

The docs on the configuration files are within cssh --man or perldoc cssh at the very least. You may also have 'man cssh' working on your system, depending on how it was installed.

You can create clusters in $HOME/.clusterssh/clusters in the format:

<tag> [user@]<server>[:port] [...]

or, in recent versions you can create definitions the other way around

[user@]<server>[:port] <tag> [...]

such that cssh <tag> will open windows to all the servers.

Also, in a recent version, you can define a command via external_cluster_command that will generate the cluster definitions on the fly. See the docs for more info.

I have noticed you cannot see any reasonable docs via http://search.cpan.org/~duncs/App-ClusterSSH-4.09/ so I will see if I can change this.

The README file has been renamed as INSTALL and the full cssh man page is now written into README as part of the release process.

See http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DUNCS/App-ClusterSSH-4.10_01/README as an example.

That's very helpful. Also, that doc specifies that the clusters should be specified as:

server1 server2 server3

whereas everything I read before said it should be

= server1 server2 server3

It works now!
