</div>You can actually achieve the same functionality of pdsh/pdcp and pconsole with<br>
a quite simple bash script :)<br>

I think it is a matter of what the admin will prefer to do. When you have a<br>
lot of identical machines, sometimes it is better to have cfengine/puppet, but<br>
sometimes it just an overkill to use them if you are the only one<br>
administrating those machines.<br>
<br>
cfengine and puppet have a very good place on machines that are administered<br>
by a team of people.<br>
<br>
But solutions like pdsh/pconsole and multy-command, in my opinion are more<br>
suitable when there are only one or two guys administering those machines.<br>
