The page's HTML creation stamp is 2001-08-31, and its public download index carries a long 0.22 through 0.25 release stream. By the 0.24.2 note dated 2003-08-26, the project had already dealt with portability and security-advisory review around its asprintf implementation. Later releases moved into the 0.25 series, with Homebrew packaging 0.25.10 from the upstream download area. ### Adoptionsgeschichte dsh's adoption is old-school Unix administration adoption: package-manager availability, config files in /etc and ~/.dsh, and use on clusters where the same command must run across many hosts. The official page says it was installed on many clusters and was also used by the related dmachinemon system. Homebrew analytics showed only 71 installs over the preceding 365 days during this batch, which fits a mature, niche sysadmin utility rather than an actively trendy tool. ### Wie es verwendet wird The canonical usage is to put host lists or groups in text config files and run commands such as `dsh -a -c -- uname -a` or `dsh -g group -c -- command`. The tool also supports limiting the number of simultaneous connections, hierarchical invocation, and NIS netgroups. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren dsh is package-nerd significant because it captures a pre-cloud cluster-management pattern: small C utilities, text host lists, rsh/ssh wrappers, and distro packaging did the work that later orchestration systems absorbed. It is also an example of a name collision family: several unrelated tools called dsh existed in Perl, C, Python, and AIX-compatible forms. ### Zeitleiste - 2001-08-31: The official HTML page records its creation date. - 2002: The official references section links Japanese research reports evaluating dsh. - 2003-08-10: A Bugtraq security advisory about dsh was posted; the maintainer later explained why the checked implementation was not affected on common platforms. - 2003-08-26: The official page documents the 0.24.2 security-review note. - 0.25.10: The upstream download index and Homebrew formula identify 0.25.10 as the packaged stable release. ### Related projects - dmachinemon is named by the official page as a system that used dsh extensively. - The official related-work list points to other distributed-shell projects, including Perl dsh, another C dsh, and pydsh. - ssh, rsh, and remsh are the remote-shell mechanisms dsh wraps. ### Quellen - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger-Risiko:** yellow / mittel - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
