Just start `multi_ssh.sh` - it will initialize a user config file with the defaults.
Without a parameter you reach the interactive mode.
It supports cli parameters too.
## Interactive usage
### Server menu
If you start the script, then you get a list of your servers.
The list of servers is can be filtered with one or more tags.
You can switch to another profile to see another set of servers.
Server list:
* Number - starting with `1`
* Server - servername
* Bastion (20 chars) - jumphost to connect; it is empty if the server is connected directly
* last success - timestamp of the last execution of the set command with exitcode 0. If the field is empty the command was not executed yet. This field helps you to see if a command was executed on all servers alreadyor not.
* Running - Info for curently running job or fisnished job and the terminal window is still open. If it is empty then the job is not running
Behind the prompt you can type an action and press Return.
Possible actions:
*`:c` change command to execute on all servers
*`:t` change tags
*`:p` change profile
* A single number - or multiple numbers separated by space: The current commad will be started on the given host in an extra terminal window
