Group Shell 0.2

Group Shell is a tool to aggregate several remote shells into one. It is used to launch an interactive remote shell on many machines at once. Group Shell is written in Python and requires Python ≥ 2.4. There is a control shell accessible with Ctrl-C that is used to list some information about the current remote shells. It also allows common terminal manipulations like sending a Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-D … The prompt shows the number of listening shells and the number of active shell. A shell is said to be listening if its prompt has returned and it is accepting commands, active shells are those whose connection is still alive. Shells can be individually enabled and disabled.
