Cluster SSH, or its OSX incarnation CsshX are great tool to quickly connect to a collection of machines and issue interactive commands in parallel. You just configure them with a collection of machines called 'clusters', set your .ssh/config correctly for all those boxes and voila, you are now in the matrix.
The problem arise when you run your stuff on Amazon's AWS on EC2 dynamic instances. It's impossible to know at a given time which instances are effectively running, and it makes your cssh (or CsshX) configuration useless.

- It will manage multiple To, multiple Cc and multiple Bcc nicely.
- It will report on each of the recipients i…
Or how to execute arbitrary Perl code using Gearman and B::Deparse.
Perl offers us the flexibility that empowers us to clearly separate code that deals with different concerns.
As developers, we should take advantage of it and build reactive, flexible and generic enough business components.
As an infrastructure developer, I don't really know what people are going to do with gearman, nor should I care too much. I'll introduce an approach that lets me concentrate on what is important: the stability, scalability and the secu…
