OT: same commands to multiple servers?

[John Brookes]

How are the startup times of IBM's dsh these days? I seem to remember that
it was somewhat on the slow side on big machines. Many moons have passed
since I was last on an AIX machine, though, so I assume the situation's
improved drastically.

Cheers,
