cxSSHAdmin is a tool for SSH administration tasks that is menu-based and uses ncurses with dialog. It simplifies various tasks through a user-friendly interface.
One of the key features of cxSSHAdmin is the ability to log in to a selected host from a list. This saves you time by eliminating the need to manually enter login credentials for each host. Additionally, you can execute one command on multiple hosts from a list, saving even more time and preventing repetitive tasks.
Another great feature is the ability to enable password-less access to hosts using SSH keys. This makes the connection process more secure and less tedious. The software can also automatically scan the subnet and generate a hosts list, which is a convenient way to keep track of all your available hosts.
In terms of future improvements, the software could have the ability to redirect command output on multiple hosts to email if desired. Also, the option to run commands on multiple hosts in parallel instead of the current serial way could save even more time.
There are some minor bugs to be addressed, such as the non-linear progress bar during network scanning. However, there is hope that it will be fixed in future updates.
One particularly impressive feature is the ability to tunnel into a firewalled network and perform login/commands on remote hosts. This is a must-have feature for those managing hosts behind a particularly restrictive firewall.
The software requires ncurses and VPN support was recently added in the latest update. Thankfully, there have been some bugfixes and a lot of code cleanup done as well. Overall, if you need an efficient tool for remote host management, cxSSHAdmin is definitely worth trying!
