Why pssh command is not working?

rated 0 times [ 41] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 23690 / 3 Years ago, tue, june 29, 2021, 8:28:23

I have pssh package installed in my Ubuntu 11.10 x64 system.
And I can run the program via calling parallel-ssh
However, pssh gives me

$ pssh

No command 'pssh' found, did you mean:

 Command 'bssh' from package 'avahi-ui-utils' (universe)

 Command 'cssh' from package 'clusterssh' (universe)

 Command 'ssh' from package 'openssh-client' (main)

 Command 'posh' from package 'posh' (universe)

 Command 'pdsh' from package 'pdsh' (universe)

 Command 'mssh' from package 'mssh' (universe)

 Command 'zssh' from package 'zssh' (universe)

 Command 'rssh' from package 'rssh' (universe)

 Command 'ppsh' from package 'ppsh' (universe)

 Command 'push' from package 'heimdal-clients' (universe)

pssh: command not found

Why does this happen and what is a right way to get pssh command working?

P.S. I know that I can create link named /usr/bin/pssh linked to /usr/bin/parallel-ssh but these seems dirty hack to me. :(

Regarding the why, see /usr/share/doc/pssh/README.Debian.

To avoid any conflicts with the putty package, all of the programs have been

renamed.



parallel-ssh is pssh

parallel-scp is pscp

parallel-rsync is prsync

parallel-nuke is pnuke

parallel-slurp is pslurp

About that symlink, a slightly cleaner solution is creating /usr/local/bin/pssh symlink and let it point to /usr/bin/parallel-ssh. With the exception of /usr/local/ it is generally best to leave the content of /usr/ to the package manager. By default /usr/local/bin is too part of the PATH environment.
