Package: dsh
Severity: minor

Hi.

1) "An utility to effectively do a for a in $(seq 1 10); do rsh $a command; done in bourne shell." in the beginning is a little bit,.. well... I mean it's clear what you want to tell the reader,.. but rsh 1 command would be strange,... an apart from that dsh does not only support rsh ;)

2)
"From version 0.21.4, it is possible to specify in the format of usern...@machinename,usern...@machinename,usern...@machinename so that multiple hosts can be specified with comma-delimited values." As "this" is already the manpage in a version above 0.21.4, you could remove that note IMHO, and add the syntax with username@ to the beginning "--machine | -m [machinename[,machinename]*]"

3) For perfection, it should be mentioned how the format for --group files and machine.list ist,.. (the same as you write in the description --file, I assume)... One could even make a separate section for the syntax.

4)  --remoteshell
Is there a default if none is specified and multiple are available? Or is it (what I'd personally like the most) simply necessary to give this somehow?

5) In the files section you always write "$(HOME)",.. is this valid shell code? I think it should be either ~/. , or ${HOME}/. or $HOME/.


Cheers :-)
Chris.
