• Choice of command transports
pdsh can use either remote shell rcmd (see rcmd (3)) or ssh as a
command transport. Note that the ssh transport offers greatly
improved security. See “Security Configuration” on page 242 for
details.

The pdcp command provides a parallelized copy command to copy a
local source file to multiple targets.
Figure 3-4, “pdsh Architecture,”shows the components of pdsh and its
