(Excel) SSH Parallel Remote Commands on Multiple Servers

Shows how to execute a command in parallel on multiple servers.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

' This example assumes Chilkat SSH/SFTP to have been previously unlocked.
' See Unlock SSH for sample code.

' Executing a command on multiple servers simultaneously is straightforward.
' It's just a matter of using one SSH object per server..
Dim ssh1 As Chilkat.Ssh
Set ssh1 = Chilkat.NewSsh
Dim ssh2 As Chilkat.Ssh
Set ssh2 = Chilkat.NewSsh
Dim ssh3 As Chilkat.Ssh
Set ssh3 = Chilkat.NewSsh


port = 22

success = ssh1.Connect("ssh-server1.com",port)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print ssh1.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Authenticate using login/password:
success = ssh1.AuthenticatePw("sshLogin1","sshPassword1")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.Print ssh1.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Connect and authenticate with 2 more servers.
' For brevity, the success/failure won't be checked...
success = ssh2.Connect("ssh-server2.com",port)
success = ssh2.AuthenticatePw("sshLogin2","sshPassword2")
success = ssh3.Connect("ssh-server3.com",port)
success = ssh3.AuthenticatePw("sshLogin3","sshPassword3")

' Note: If we wanted, we could've used ConnectAsync and AuthenticatePwAsync
' to do the connecting and authenticating in parallel...

' The command to be run on each SSH server will sleep for 5 seconds,
' and then show the current system date/time.

cmd = "sleep 5; date"

' Start each command

ssh1Channel = ssh1.QuickCmdSend(cmd)

End If

' For brevity, we're not checking the return values here:

ssh2Channel = ssh2.QuickCmdSend(cmd)

ssh3Channel = ssh3.QuickCmdSend(cmd)

' OK, at this point the command is running simultaneously on each server.

' Now collect the results of each command.
