Command Central is an extensive extension of the Python module paramiko, enabling threaded execution of commands over SSH. This tool facilitates the automation of tasks such as configuring, updating, and installing software without the need for pre-installed agents, ensuring a swift and efficient process.
- Threaded Command Execution: Perform multiple SSH operations concurrently, enhancing efficiency.
- Agentless Operation: No need for additional software on target machines; relies solely on SSH.
- Cross-Platform Support: Designed to work seamlessly with various UNIX-like operating systems.
- AIX
- Solaris
- Red Hat
While the primary focus is on these platforms, many functions are adaptable to other UNIX-like systems.
