Exec

The exec subcommand can do some things that the configuration file can't do yet. The command exec host can execute commands on many hosts.

exec host takes the following arguments:

  -c, --commands strings   Accepts comma-separated names of commands.
  -h, --help               help for host
  -m, --hosts strings      Accepts comma-separated names of hosts.

The commands have to be defined in the config file. The hosts need to at least be in the ssh_config(5) file.

backy exec host [--commands=command1,command2, ... | -c command1,command2, ...] [--hosts=host1,hosts2, ... | -m host1,host2, ...]  [flags]
