ClusterIt is a suite of software to allow easy
maintenance of large groups of machines. It does
not provide a parallel programing environment, but
is meant to be utilized in managing one, or simply
to manage massive server farms. It includes such
features as parallel rsh, parallel copy, parallel
virtual xterminals (xterms), and job scheduling
facilities for performing parallel compiling. It also
has programs to allow barrier syncing in shell
scripts.

Changes:
A new program, dtop, allows the user to run top across multiple machines and collate the results in real-time. The default remote commands have been changed over to ssh from rsh. A test option has been added to all commands to check if SSH is up and running before attempting an SSH connection that might otherwise hang. A flag has been added to dsh allowing the user to copy, execute, and delete a script on all machines in one step. There are many other small bugfixes and enhancements.
