About:
Mpssh is a command-line tool that executes SSH commands across multiple hosts in parallel. It streamlines remote server management by distributing commands concurrently, significantly reducing the time required for fleet-wide operations. The tool reads host lists from stdin or files, making it ideal for automation scripts.

Key Features:

Parallel execution across many hosts
Simple stdin-based host list input
Per-host output with clear identification
Configurable concurrency limits

Use Cases:

Deploying configuration changes across server fleets
Gathering system information or logs from multiple hosts
Bulk package updates or security patches

Alternatives:

pssh – More feature-rich but larger dependency footprint
Ansible – More powerful configuration management but heavier complexity
