Table 1-3 Command Fanout Commands (continued)
When to Use it What it Does Command
To check uptime, users, and load averages. Reports uptime(1) information for
multiple systems. In a Serviceguard
cluster, issues command clusterwide by
default. cuptime

users across a group of systems. Displays a wall(1) broadcast message
on multiple hosts. In a Serviceguard

Table 1-4 Utility Setup Command
When to Use it What it Does Command
To greatly simplify ssh key distribution.
pdsh
and the command fanout
(cexec-related) commands all rely on a
proper ssh key distribution. The
csync_wizard
requires ssh access to
managed clients. For example, in a
Serviceguard cluster, this allows ssh access
from any member to any other member, so
pdsh
and cexec can be used from any
cluster member.
For the current user, performs a secure
shell (ssh) public key distribution to
multiple systems. csshsetup
