Aside from shell loops, I've also in the past used dsh which is still packaged in Debian:http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/dsh.html <http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/dsh.html>Other similar options are pdksh, public domain Korn shell. Which is available in Debian repositories for some releases. And the dsh command on IBM's aix unix-ish OS :-) So with NIM support :-) looking like rsh.…but these days I also switched to using Ansible ad hoc commands and playbooks for anything I do repeatedly. Well worth looking into.The same can be said of the salt utility. Supported at cost by Saltstack if necessary. But IMO not the same use-case that the OP intended. One salt contributor some time ago was managing more than 10K servers with it, I only had a few hundred.
I'll keep these tools in mind for some possible future usage. Right now they seem to not exactly be what I was searching for, but obviously my initial question was lacking a proper description of my aspired usage scenario, especially the wish to keep sessions running interactively while also sending ad hoc commands simultanously to all these sessions.
Your answer is much appreciated, thanks a lot for it, and best wishes! Marco
