From e19ae268553cc5efb409917cb528a5d79115cbf6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jmmv Date: Sat, 20 May 2006 11:27:09 +0000 Subject: Initial import of vxargs, version 0.3.3: vxargs is an utility inspired in xargs and pssh. It provides a parallel versions of any arbitrary command, including ssh, rsync, scp, wget or curl, just to mention a few. It is specially useful to control a large set of machines in a wide-area network. For example, it can be used on PlanetLab to control hundreds of machines spread around the world. Its main features are: * Parallelism: Runs many jobs at the same time. * Flexibility: Runs arbitrary commands with arbitrary options. * Visualization: Monitors the total/per job progress in a curses-based UI. * Redirection: The standard and error outputs of each individual job are redirected to local files for further analysis. --- sysutils/vxargs/DESCR | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) create mode 100644 sysutils/vxargs/DESCR (limited to 'sysutils/vxargs/DESCR') diff --git a/sysutils/vxargs/DESCR b/sysutils/vxargs/DESCR new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..d30c99dfbf2 --- /dev/null +++ b/sysutils/vxargs/DESCR @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +vxargs is an utility inspired in xargs and pssh.
