            <ul>
            <li><a
            href="http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/multi">net-ssh.rubyforge.org/multi</a>
            
            </li>
            </ul>
            <h2>DESCRIPTION:</h2>
            <p>
            <a href="../classes/Net/SSH/Multi.html">Net::SSH::Multi</a> is a library
            for controlling multiple <a href="../classes/Net/SSH.html">Net::SSH</a>
            connections via a single interface. It exposes an API similar to that of
            Net::SSH::Connection::Session and Net::SSH::Connection::Channel, making it
            simpler to adapt programs designed for single connections to be used with
            multiple connections.
            </p>
            <p>
            This library is particularly useful for automating repetitive tasks that
            must be performed on multiple machines. It executes the commands in
            parallel, and allows commands to be executed on subsets of servers (defined
            by groups).
            </p>
            <h2>FEATURES:</h2>
            <ul>
            <li>Easily manage multiple connections
            
            </li>
            <li>Open channels, spawn processes, etc. on multiple connections in parallel
            
            </li>
            <li>Transparently limit concurrent connections when dealing with large numbers
            of servers (Net::SSH::Multi::Session#concurrent_connections)
            
            </li>
            <li>Specify a default gateway machine through which connections should be
            tunneled, or even specify a different gateway machine for each server
            
            </li>
            </ul>
            <h2>SYNOPSIS:</h2>
            <p>
            In a nutshell:
            </p>
            <pre>require 'net/ssh/multi'&#x000A;&#x000A;Net::SSH::Multi.start do |session|&#x000A;  # access servers via a gateway&#x000A;  session.via 'gateway', 'gateway-user'&#x000A;&#x000A;  # define the servers we want to use&#x000A;  session.use 'user1@host1'&#x000A;  session.use 'user2@host2'&#x000A;&#x000A;  # define servers in groups for more granular access&#x000A;  session.group :app do&#x000A;    session.use 'user@app1'&#x000A;    session.use 'user@app2'&#x000A;  end&#x000A;&#x000A;  # execute commands on all servers&#x000A;  session.exec &quot;uptime&quot;&#x000A;&#x000A;  # execute commands on a subset of servers&#x000A;  session.with(:app).exec &quot;hostname&quot;&#x000A;&#x000A;  # run the aggregated event loop&#x000A;  session.loop&#x000A;end</pre>
            <p>
