Here are some key features of "Tentakel":
· Parallel execution of commands on several hosts.
· Format strings that control how the output of the remote commands is about to be displayed and how the output of different hosts should be separated from each other.
· A powerful configuration file that can be used to define groups of hosts. Such groups can contain other groups. Each group can be assigned a remote method, a username and a format string.
· Easy extensibility to allow for different remote methods (currently only ssh and rsh are supported).
