About:
csshx is a command-line tool that enables cluster ssh sessions, allowing you to control multiple SSH connections simultaneously. It opens a Terminal.app window for each host and broadcasts your keystrokes to all active sessions. This utility is essential for administrators managing groups of servers that require identical commands and configurations.

Key Features:

Broadcasts input to multiple SSH sessions simultaneously
Supports host lists and range syntax for quick targeting
Native integration with macOS Terminal.app
Read-only mode for safe monitoring across clusters

Use Cases:

Deploying configuration updates across a server farm
Running diagnostic commands on multiple nodes at once
Monitoring real-time logs across distributed systems

Alternatives:

mussh – Mussh is a shell script that runs commands on multiple hosts but lacks native GUI terminal integration.
Ansible – Ansible provides idempotent infrastructure management via SSH but requires YAML playbooks rather than interactive terminal sessions.
