About:
Hss is an interactive parallel SSH client designed for executing commands across multiple remote hosts simultaneously. It provides a terminal-based interface that allows users to manage connections and view aggregated output in real-time. This tool significantly streamlines administrative tasks for server fleets by eliminating the need for manual, sequential connections.

Key Features:

Interactive terminal UI for managing host lists
Parallel command execution across many servers
Aggregated real-time output display
Support for grouping and filtering hosts

Use Cases:

Deploying configuration changes to a cluster of servers
Gathering system metrics or logs from multiple machines at once
Performing emergency maintenance across production environments

Alternatives:

pssh – Provides parallel SSH execution but lacks an interactive TUI.
Ansible – A configuration management tool that is heavier and agent-based (or agentless) but offers idempotent state management.
