Synopsis:

usage: cl_exec [options] program
     -c #                use # child processes at once
     -t                  test only, print commands but don't execute

     -V                  really verbose output


Description:
The cl_exec command is used to run a Unix command or program on multiple machines. Note that all machines will execute exactly the same program, there is no customization available to modify the arguments on different machines.

cl_exec is a Perl script that simply automates the process of rsh-ing to the remote machines and executing the command there.

Note that many program options will interfere with the Herdtools command options. You should always enclose your program and arguments with double quotes to avoid this possibility.


Options:
By default, cl_exec will scan the default configuration file for the cluster and run the command on all machines.
