NAME

ptools - parallel remote tools  

SYNOPSIS

<ptools> [rshp_options] [-f nodefile ] [-d ] [-u ] [-- options for the corresponding tool ]  

DESCRIPTION

Ptools are front end that use rshp to launch a special command on a list of hosts. Ptools work the same way rshp does. The have a name related to the command they launch. For example pkill will launch a kill process on sevral hosts. pps will work the same way doing a ps on many hosts. Ptools use the rshp options more a few ones. Options you give after "--" will be interpreted by the remote command
For example "pps -m hote -- aux" wil launch ps -aux on the host hote.

The specific options to ptools are as follows:

-f
nodefile The -f option uses takes a file where are stored the hosts name (each name is separated from another by a blanck or newline)
-u
The -u option give a ptool the list of up nodes under PBS.
-d
The -d option give a ptool the list of free nodes under PBS

To create a new ptool, use the genere_ptools command.
You just have to give it a file filled with a list of command.
The corresponding ptool will then be available. His path is identical to rshp.
