Package: dsh
Severity: normal

Hi.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or my understanding of dsh is just wrong ^^

It's clear that giving input to interactive programs (e.g. aptitude) is quite difficult when doing concurrent execution (btw: what happens with stdout in this case?! is it simply printed as it comes? ... especially with curses-like stuff as aptitude this does not work).

But I'd have expected that in wait-shell mode this should work,...
e.g. dsh -g someGroup -w -- aptitude
would invoke aptitude on every machine (but not concurrently) giving me the same output and input possibilities as if I'd have logged in directly with ssh.

If this is not possible due to the architecture of dsh, would it be possible to add a new command line option,.. which makes dsh simply work like a sequential wrapper for ssh?

Thanks,
Chris.
