SSHinception

[Brian Corrigan]

We recently disabled the option to ssh to multiple machines at one. I think this was a good change, it was sorta confusing, and it's probably true that a script is a better approach.

However, it might be nice to allow multiple SSH if someone has csshX installed. Its not a great tool, but it's pretty popular and available on both OSX & Linux. Just a thought!

Whoa, csshX is crazy 😵

That might be cool, but I'm not sure how to go about that or if it makes sense to have a dedicated command just for csshX. What about adding an origin attribute to the get command and a --single-line option?

overcast instance get [instance|cluster|all] origin --single-line

# This could be shortened to:
overcast get [instance|cluster|all] origin -s

# Get origin for single instance:
$ overcast get vm-01 origin
root@1.2.3.4:22

# Get origins for multiple instances or clusters:
$ overcast get my-cluster origin -s
$ overcast get vm-* origin -s
$ overcast get all origin -s
root@1.2.3.4:22 myuser@2.3.4.5:2222 user@4.5.6.7:22222

# With that, you should be able to do...
csshx `overcast get my-cluster origin -s`

That's a killer solution. I didn't realize I could do that :)

Thanks!
