Either a level can be provided or the option can be repeated multiple times. Maximum level is 9. --dump-config, -d Dump the current configuration in the same format used by the $HOME/.clusterssh/config file. --evaluate '<[user@]<host>[:port]>', -e '<[user@]<host>[:port]>' Display and evaluate the terminal and connection arguments to display any potential errors. The <hostname> is required to aid the evaluation. --fillscreen Resize terminal windows to fill the whole available screen --font '<font>', -f '<font>' Specify the font to use in the terminal windows. Use standard X font notation such as "5x8". --help, -h Show basic help text and exit --list '[tag]', -L '[tag]' List available cluster tags. Tag is optional.

NOTE: format of output changes when using "--quiet" or "-Q" option. --man, -H Show full help text (the man page) and exit --options '<STRING>', -o '<STRING>' Specify arguments to be passed to ssh when making the connection.

Show synopsis and exit --use-all-a-records, -A If a hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses, toggle whether or not to connect to all of them, or just the first one (see also config file entry). --username '<username>', -l '<username>' Specify the default username to use for connections (if different from the currently logged in user). NOTE: will be overridden by <user>@<host>. --version, -v Show version information and exit Arguments: The following arguments are supported: [user@]<hostname>[:port] ... Open an xterm to the given hostname and connect to the administration console. The optional port number can be used if the server is not listening on the standard port. <tag> ... Open a series of xterms defined by <tag> in one of the supplementary configuration files (see "FILES"). Note: specifying a username on a cluster tag will override any usernames defined in the cluster.
