'tsshbatch' is a tool to enable you to issue a command to many servers without having to log into each one separately. When writing scripts, this overcomes the 'ssh' limitation of not being able to specify the password on the command line. 'tsshbatch' also understands basic 'sudo' syntax and can be used to access a server, 'sudo' a command, and then exit. 'tsshbatch' thus allows you to write complex, hands-off scripts that issue commands to many servers without the tedium of manual login and 'sudo' promotion. System administrators, especially, will find this helpful when working in large server farms. WWW: http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tsshbatch
