=head1 NAME

ccon - Cluster administration tool

=head1 SYNOPSIS

ccon [-K <seconds>] [-q] [-c '<filename>'] [-C '<filename>'] [--debug [[...] || <INTEGER>]] [-d] [-e '<[user@]<host>[:port]>'] [-f '<font>'] [-h] [-L '[tag]'] [-H] [-M '<STRING>'] [-p <port>] [-Q] [-s] [-r '<filename>'] [-t '<STRING>'] [-g] [-T '<title>'] [-u] [-?] [-A] [-v] 

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The command opens an administration console and an xterm to all specified hosts.  Any text typed into the administration console is replicated to all windows.  All windows may also be typed into directly.

This tool is intended for (but not limited to) cluster administration where the same configuration or commands must be run on each node within the cluster.  Performing these commands all at once via this tool ensures all nodes are kept in sync.

Connections are opened using console which must be correctly installed and configured.

Extra caution should be taken when editing files as lines may not necessarily be in the same order;  assuming line 5 is the same across all servers and modifying that is dangerous.  It's better to search for the specific line to be changed and double-check all terminals are as expected before changes are committed.

=head2 Further Notes

Please also see "KNOWN BUGS".

=over

=item *

The dotted line on any sub-menu is a tear-off, i.e. click on it and the sub-menu is turned into its own window.

=item *

Unchecking a hostname on the Hosts sub-menu will unplug the host from the cluster control window, so any text typed into the console is not sent to that host.  Re-selecting it will plug it back in.

=item *

If your window manager menu bars are obscured by terminal windows see the C<screen_reserve_XXXXX> options in the F<$HOME/.clusterssh/config> file (see L</"FILES">).

=item *

If the terminals overlap too much see the C<terminal_reserve_XXXXX> options in the F<$HOME/.clusterssh/config> file (see L</"FILES">).

=item *

When using ClusterSSH on a large number of systems to connect to a single system using an SSH utility (e.g. you issue a command to to copy a file using scp from the remote computers to a single host) and when these connections require authentication (i.e. you are going to authenticate with a password), the sshd daemon at that location may refuse connections after the number C<MaxStartups> limit in F<sshd_config> is exceeded.  (If this value is not set, it defaults to 10).  This is expected behavior; sshd uses this mechanism to prevent DoS attacks from unauthenticated sources.  Please tune sshd_config and reload the SSH daemon, or consider using the F<~/.ssh/authorized_keys> mechanism for authentication if you encounter this problem.

=item *

If client windows fail to open, try running:

C<< ccon -e {single host name} >>

This will test the mechanisms used to open windows to hosts.  This could be due to either the C<-xrm> terminal option which enables C<AllowSendEvents> (some terminals do not require this option, other terminals have another method for enabling it - see your terminal documentation) or the configuration of C<console>.

=back

=head1 OPTIONS

Some of these options may also be defined within the configuration file.  Default options are shown as appropriate.

=over

=item --autoclose <seconds>, -K <seconds>

Number of seconds to wait before closing finished terminal windows.

=item --autoquit, -q

Toggle automatically quiting after the last client window has closed (overriding the config file).

Use supplied file as additional cluster file (see also L</"FILES">).

=item --config-file '<filename>', -C '<filename>'

Use supplied file as additional configuration file (see also L</"FILES">).

=item --debug [[...] || <INTEGER>]

Enable debugging.  Either a level can be provided or the option can be repeated multiple times.  Maximum level is 4.

=item --man, -H

Show full help text (the man page) and exit

=item --master '<STRING>', -M '<STRING>'

The console client program polls master as the primary server, rather than the default set at compile time (typically ``console'').

Specify an alternate port for connections.

=item --quiet, -Q

Do not output extra text when using some options

=item --show-history, -s

Show history within console window.

=item --unique-servers, -u

Toggle connecting to each host only once when a hostname has been specified multiple times.

=item --usage, -?

Show version information and exit

=back

=head1 ARGUMENTS

The following arguments are supported:

=over

=item [user@]<hostname>[:port] ...

Open an xterm to the given hostname and connect to the administration console.  The optional port number can be used if the server is not listening on the standard port.

=item <tag> ...

Open a series of xterms defined by <tag> in one of the supplementary configuration files (see L</"FILES">).

B<Note:> specifying a username on a cluster tag will override any usernames defined in the cluster.

=back

=head1 KEY SHORTCUTS

The following key shortcuts are available within the console window, and all of them may be changed via the configuration files.

=over

=item  Control-Shift-plus

Open the 'Add Host(s) or Cluster(s)' dialogue box.  Multiple host or cluster names can be entered, separated by spaces.

=item Alt-n

Paste in the hostname part of the specific connection string to each client, minus any username or port, e.g.

C<< scp /etc/hosts server:files/<Alt-n>.hosts >>

would replace the <Alt-n> with the client's name in each window.

=item Alt-l

Paste in the hostname of the server cssh is ebing run on

=item Alt-q

Quit the program and close all connections and windows.

=item Alt-r

Retile all the client windows.

=item Alt-u

Paste in the username for the connection

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

=over

=item Open up a session to 3 servers

S<$ ccon server1 server2 server3>

=item Open up a session to a cluster of servers identified by the tag 'farm1' and give the controlling window a specific title, where the tag is defined in one of the default configuration files

S<$ ccon -T 'Web Farm Cluster 1' farm1>

=item Connect to different servers using different login names.  NOTE: this can also be achieved by setting up appropriate options in the configuration files.  Do not close the console when the last terminal exits.

S<$ ccon user1@server1 admin@server2>

=item Open up a cluster defined in a non-default configuration file

S<$ ccon -c $HOME/cssh.extra_clusters db_cluster>

=item Override the configured/default port to use 2022 instead

S<$ ccon -p 2022 server1 server2>

=back

=head1 FILES

=over

=item F</etc/clusters>, F<$HOME/.clusterssh/clusters>

These files contain a list of tags to server names mappings.  When any name is used on the command line it is checked to see if it is a tag.  If it is a tag, then the tag is replaced with the list of servers.  The format is as follows:

S<< <tag> [user@]<server>[:port] [user@]<server>[:port] [...] >>

e.g.

    # List of servers in live
    live admin1@server1 admin2@server2:2022 server3 server4

All comments (marked by a #) and blank lines are ignored.  Tags may be nested, but be aware of using recursive tags as they are not checked for.

Extra cluster files may also be specified either as an option on the command line (see C<cluster-file>) or in the user's F<$HOME/.clusterssh/config> file (see C<extra_cluster_file> configuration option).

B<NOTE:> the last tag read overwrites any pre-existing tag of that name.

B<NOTE:> there is a special cluster tag called C<default> - any tags or hosts included within this tag will be automatically opened if nothing is specified on the command line.

=item F</etc/tags>, F<$HOME/.clusterssh/tags>

Very similar to F<clusters> files but the definition is reversed.  The format is:

S<< <host> <tag> [...] >>

This allows one host to be specified as a member of a number of tags.  This format can be clearer than using F<clusters> files.

Extra tag files may be specified either as an option (see C<tag-file>) or within the user's F<$HOME/.clusterssh/config> file (see C<extra_tag_file> configuration option).

B<NOTE:> All tags are added together

=item F</etc/csshrc> & F<$HOME/.clusterssh/config>

This file contains configuration overrides - the defaults are as marked.  Default options are overwritten first by the global file, and then by the user file.

B<NOTE:> values for entries do not need to be quoted unless it is required for passing arguments, e.g.

C<< terminal_allow_send_events="-xrm '*.VT100.allowSendEvents:true'" >>

should be written as

C<< terminal_allow_send_events=-xrm '*.VT100.allowSendEvents:true' >>

=over

=item auto_close = 5

Close terminal window after this many seconds.  If set to 0 will instead wait on input from the user in each window before closing. See also L<--autoclose> and --no-autoclose

=item auto_quit = 1

Automatically quit after the last client window closes.  Set to 0 to disable.  See also L<--autoquit>

=item comms = console

Sets the default communication method (initially taken from the name of the program, but can be overridden here).

=item console_position = <null>

Set the initial position of the console - if empty then let the window manager decide.  Format is '+<x>+<y>', i.e. '+0+0' is top left hand corner of the screen, '+0-70' is bottom left hand side of screen (more or less).

=item external_cluster_command = <null>

Define the full path to an external command that can be used to resolve tags to host names.  This command can be written in any language.  The script must accept a list of tags to resolve and output a list of hosts (space separated on a single line).  Any tags that cannot be resolved should be returned unchanged.

A non-0 exit code will be counted as an error, a warning will be printed and output ignored.

If the external command is given a C<-L> option it should output a list of tags (space separated on a single line) it can resolve

=item extra_cluster_file = <null>

Define an extra cluster file in the format of F</etc/clusters>.  Multiple files can be specified, separated by commas.  Both ~ and $HOME are acceptable as a reference to the user's home directory, e.g.

C<< extra_cluster_file = ~/clusters, $HOME/clus >>

=item key_addhost = Control-Shift-plus

Default key sequence to open AddHost menu.  See L<KEY SHORTCUTS> for more information.

=item key_clientname = Alt-n

Default key sequence to send cssh client names to client.  See L<KEY SHORTCUTS> for more information.

=item key_localname = Alt-l

Default key sequence to send hostname of local server to client.  See L<KEY SHORTCUTS> for more information.

=item key_paste = Control-v

Default key sequence to paste text into the console window.  See L<KEY SHORTCUTS> for more information.

=item key_quit = Control-q

Default key sequence to quit the program (will terminate all open windows).  See L<KEY SHORTCUTS> for more information.

=item key_retilehosts = Alt-r

Default key sequence to retile host windows.  See L<KEY SHORTCUTS> for more information.

=item key_username = Alt-u

Default key sequence to send username to client.  See L<KEY SHORTCUTS> for more information.

=item macro_servername = %s

=item macro_hostname = %h

=item macro_username = %u

=item macro_newline = %n

=item macro_version = %v

Change the replacement macro used when either using a 'Send' menu item, or when pasting text into the main console.

=item macros_enabled = yes

Enable or disable macro replacement.  Note: this affects all the C<macro_*> variables above.

=item max_addhost_menu_cluster_items = 6

Maximum number of entries in the 'Add Host' menu cluster list before scrollbars are used

=item max_host_menu_items = 30

Maximum number of hosts to put into the host menu before starting a new column

=item menu_host_autotearoff = 0

=item menu_send_autotearoff = 0

When set to non-0 will automatically tear-off the host or send menu at program start

=item mouse_paste = Button-2 (middle mouse button)

Default key sequence to paste text into the console window using the mouse.  See L<KEY SHORTCUTS> for more information.

=item rsh = /path/to/rsh

=item ssh = /path/to/ssh

=item telnet = /path/to/telnet

Set the path to the specific binary to use for the communication method, else uses the first match found in C<$PATH>

=item rsh_args = <blank>

=item ssh_args = "-x -o ConnectTimeout=10"

=item telnet_args = <blank>

Sets any arguments to be used with the communication method (defaults to ssh arguments).

B<NOTE:> The given defaults are based on OpenSSH, not commercial ssh software.

B<NOTE:> Any "generic" change to the method (e.g., specifying the ssh port to use) should be done in the medium's own config file (see C<ssh_config> and F<$HOME/.ssh/config>).

=item screen_reserve_top = 0

=item screen_reserve_bottom = 60

=item screen_reserve_left = 0

=item screen_reserve_right = 0

Number of pixels from the screen's side to reserve when calculating screen geometry for tiling.  Setting this to something like 50 will help keep cssh from positioning windows over your window manager's menu bar if it draws one at that side of the screen.

=item terminal = /path/to/xterm

Path to the X-Windows terminal used for the client.

=item terminal_args = <blank>

Arguments to use when opening terminal windows.  Otherwise takes defaults from F<$HOME/.Xdefaults> or F<$HOME/.Xresources> file.

=item terminal_chdir = 0

When non-0, set the working directory for each terminal as per 'L<terminal_chdir_path>'

=item terminal_chdir_path = $HOME/.clusterssh/work/%s

Path to use as working directory for each terminal when 'L<terminal_chdir>' is enabled.  The path provided is passed through the macro parser (see the section above on 'L<macros_enabled>'.

=item terminal_font = 6x13

Font to use in the terminal windows.  Use standard X font notation.

=item terminal_reserve_top = 5

=item terminal_reserve_bottom = 0

=item terminal_reserve_left = 5

=item terminal_reserve_right = 0

Number of pixels from the terminal's side to reserve when calculating screen geometry for tiling.  Setting these will help keep cssh from positioning windows over your scroll and title bars or otherwise overlapping the windows too much.

=item terminal_colorize = 1

If set to 1 (the default), then "-bg" and "-fg" arguments will be added to the terminal invocation command-line.  The terminal will be colored in a pseudo-random way based on the host name; while the color of a terminal is not easily predicted, it will always be the same color for a given host name.  After a while, you will recognize hosts by their characteristic terminal color.

=item terminal_bg_style = dark

If set to C<dark>, the terminal background will be set to black and the foreground to the pseudo-random color.  If set to C<light>, then the foreground will be black and the background the pseudo-random color.  If terminal_colorize is C<zero>, then this option has no effect.

=item terminal_size = 80x24

Initial size of terminals to use. NOTE: the number of lines (24) will be decreased when resizing terminals for tiling, not the number of characters (80).

=item terminal_title_opt = -T

Option used with C<terminal> to set the title of the window

=item terminal_allow_send_events = -xrm '*.VT100.allowSendEvents:true'

Option required by the terminal to allow XSendEvents to be received

=item title = cssh

Title of windows to use for both the console and terminals.

=item unmap_on_redraw = no

Tell Tk to use the UnmapWindow request before redrawing terminal windows.  This defaults to "no" as it causes some problems with the FVWM window manager.  If you are experiencing problems with redraws, you can set it to "yes" to allow the window to be unmapped before it is repositioned.

=item use_all_a_records = 0

If a hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses, set to C<1> to connect to all of them, not just the first one found.  See also C<--use-all-a-records>}

=item use_hotkeys = 1

Setting to C<0> will disable all hotkeys.

=item use_natural_sort = 0

Windows will normally sort in alphabetical order, i.e.: host1, host11, host2.  Setting to this C<1> will change the sort order, i.e.: host1, host2, host11. NOTE: You must have the perl module L<Sort::Naturally> installed.

=item user = $LOGNAME

Sets the default user for running commands on clients.

=item window_tiling = 1

Perform window tiling (set to C<0> to disable)

=item window_tiling_direction = right

Direction to tile windows, where C<right> means starting top left and moving right and then down, and anything else means starting bottom right and moving left and then up

=back

B<NOTE:> The key shortcut modifiers must be in the form C<Control>, C<Alt> or C<Shift>, e.g. with the first letter capitalised and the rest lower case.  Keys may also be disabled individually by setting to the word C<null>.

=item F<$HOME/.clusterssh/send_menu>

This (optional) file contains items to populate the send menu.  The default entry could be written as:

  <send_menu>
    <menu title="Use Macros">
        <toggle/>
        <accelerator>ALT-p</accelerator>
    </menu>
    <menu title="Remote Hostname">
        <command>%s</command>
        <accelerator>ALT-n</accelerator>
    </menu>
    <menu title="Local Hostname">
        <command>%s</command>
        <accelerator>ALT-l</accelerator>
    </menu>
    <menu title="Username">
        <command>%u</command>
        <accelerator>ALT-u</accelerator>
    </menu>
    <menu title="Test Text">
        <command>echo "ClusterSSH Version: %v%n</command>
    </menu>
  </send_menu>

Submenus can also be specified as follows:

  <send_menu>
    <menu title="Default Entries">
      <detach>yes</detach>
      <menu title="Hostname">
          <command>%s</command>
          <accelerator>ALT-n</accelerator>
      </menu>
    </menu>
  </send_menu>

The following replacement macros are available (note: these can be changed in the configuration file):

=over

=item %s

Hostname part of the specific connection string to each client, minus any username or port

=item %u

Username part of the connection string to each client

=item %h

Hostname of server where cssh is being run from

=item %n

=head1 KNOWN BUGS

If you have any ideas about how to fix the below bugs, please get in touch and/or provide a patch.

=over

=item *

Swapping virtual desktops can cause a redraw of all the terminal windows.  This is due to a lack of distinction within Tk between switching desktops and minimising/maximising windows.  Until Tk can tell the difference between the two events, there is no fix (apart from rewriting everything directly in X).

=back

=head1 REPORTING BUGS

=over

=item *

If you have issues running ccon, first try:

C<< ccon -e [user@]<hostname>[:port] >>

This performs two tests to confirm cssh is able to work properly with the settings provided within the F<$HOME/.clusterssh/config> file (or internal defaults).


=over

=item 1

Test the terminal window works with the options provided

=item 2

Test console works to a host with the configured arguments

=back

Configuration options to watch for in ssh are

=over

=item SSH doesn't understand C<-o ConnectTimeout=10> - remove the option from the F<$HOME/.clusterssh/config> file

=item OpenSSH-3.8 using untrusted ssh tunnels - use C<-Y> instead of C<-X> or use C<ForwardX11Trusted yes> in F<$HOME/.ssh/ssh_config> (if you change the default ssh options from C<-x> to C<-X>)

=back

=item *

If you require support, please run the following commands and post it on the web site in the support/problems forum:

C<< perl -V >>

C<< perl -MTk -e 'print $Tk::VERSION,$/' >>

C<< perl -MX11::Protocol -e 'print $X11::Protocol::VERSION,$/' >>

C<< cat /etc/csshrc $HOME/.clusterssh/config >>

=item *

Using the debug option (--debug) will turn on debugging output.  Repeat the option to increase the amount of debug.  However, if possible please only use this option with one host at a time, e.g. C<< cssh --debug <host> >> due to the amount of output produced (in both main and child windows).
