vxargs is an utility inspired in xargs and pssh. It provides a parallel versions of any arbitrary command, including ssh, rsync, scp, wget or curl, just to mention a few. It is specially useful to control a large set of machines in a wide-area network. For example, it can be used on PlanetLab to control hundreds of machines spread around the world. Its main features are: * Parallelism: Runs many jobs at the same time. * Flexibility: Runs arbitrary commands with arbitrary options. * Visualization: Monitors the total/per job progress in a curses-based UI. * Redirection: The standard and error outputs of each individual job are redirected to local files for further analysis.
