NAME

       pconsole - parallel console shell for administering clusters.

SYNOPSIS

       pconsole

DESCRIPTION

       pconsole  allows  you  to connect to each node of your cluster simultaneously, and you can
       type your administrative commands in a specialized window that ´multiplies´ the  input  to
       each  of  the  connections  you  have opened.  pconsole is best run from within X Windows,
       although it is possible to employ it without X (in console mode) as well.

       You need to install pconsole on only 1 machine in the cluster, this would usually be  your
       central administrative node.

OPTIONS

       pconsole  need  to  be executed with superuser permissions, and enters in interactive mode
       let you attach other devices so that all the commands sent to the console mode of pconsole
       are  sent to the devices. This allows you to parallelize the execution of the same command
       in various machines at a time.

       pconsole has two working modes:

       command mode
              From this mode pconsole can attach and dettach devices, list the  attached  devices
              at  a  time,  connect  to  sending mode where you can send commands to the attached
              devices, and quit.  To enter in command mode, use CTRL-A from sending mode.

       sending mode
              The mode where the commands sent to it are sent to the devices attached.  To  enter
              this mode use CTRL-D or use the console command.
