NAME
App::Goto2 - Easily SSH to many servers
SYNOPSIS
use App::Goto2;
DESCRIPTION
App::Goto2 is intended to take the strain out of having a large number
of servers you frequently have to access via SSH. It allows you to set
up nicknames, use partial hostnames, and auto-detect available AWS EC2
instances and work out which one(s) you actually want. It also allows
for iterating over a number of machines one after the other, and the
specification of an optional command to be run on the remote machine(s).
Written by somebody who frequently had to SSH to a vast number of
machines in multiple domains, with SSH running on numerous ports, with a
variety of usernames, using a variety of SSH keys; and got sick of
trying to remember all the details when writing for loops to remotely
execute commands on them all.
You can get a lot of the same functionality (port/user/aliases/etc) just
by updating your ssh config file, but (a) it's harder to share a config
file, (b) it wouldn't have the EC2 integration and (c) it doesn't lend
itself to wildcards so well.
CONFIG
By default, the config file will be looked for in ~/.go2/config.yml
