Example usage (from memory) might look like:
mkdir -p /tmp/savedir
rm /tmp/savedir/*
cat /tmp/hostname-list-one-host-per-line | sed 's/^(.*)$/1 1/' | loop -d /tmp/savedir -n 20 -c 'uname -n' -v
/tmp/savedir should then have one file per host, each containing the results from the command on each host. Then review the results with something like:
vi /tmp/savedir/* # look at all the files
vi $(ls /tmp/savedir | equivs2 -s | awk ' { print $1 } ') # only look at a single copy of any files that have the same content.
