=item B<--sshlogin> I<[ncpu/]sshlogin[,[ncpu/]sshlogin]> (not implemented)
Distribute jobs to remote servers. The jobs will be run on a list of
remote servers. B<parallel> will determine the number of CPU cores on
the remote servers and run the number of jobs as specified by -j. If
the number I<ncpu> is given B<parallel> will use this number for

An I<sshlogin> is the string you would normally pass to SSH to login,
e.g. I<server.example.com>, I<foo@server.example.com>, or I<"-l foo -p
2222 server.example.com">. The sshlogin must not require a password.
The sshlogin ':' is special, it means 'no ssh' and will therefore run
on the local machine.
To specify more sshlogins separate the sshlogins by comma or repeat
the options multiple times.
For examples: see B<--sshloginfile>.

=item B<--silent>

=item B<--transfer> (not implemented)
Transfer files to remote servers. B<--transfer> is used with
B<--sshlogin> when the arguments are files and should be transfered to
the remote servers. The files will be transfered using B<rsync> and
will be put relative to the default login dir. E.g.
echo foo/bar.txt | parallel \
--sshlogin server.example.com --transfer wc
This will transfer the file I<foo/bar.txt> to the server
I<server.example.com> to the file $HOME/foo/bar.txt before running
B<wc foo/bar.txt> on I<server.example.com>.
echo /tmp/foo/bar.txt | parallel \
--sshlogin server.example.com --transfer wc
This will transfer the file I<foo/bar.txt> to the server
I<server.example.com> to the file /tmp/foo/bar.txt before running
B<wc /tmp/foo/bar.txt> on I<server.example.com>.
B<--transfer> is often used with B<--return> and B<--cleanup>.
B<--transfer> is ignored when used with B<--sshlogin :> or when not used with B<--sshlogin>.
=item B<--return> I<suffix> (not implemented)
Transfer files from remote servers. B<--return> is used with
B<--sshlogin> when the arguments are files on the remote servers. When
processing is done the file with I<suffix> appended will be transfered
from the remote server using B<rsync> and will be put relative to
the default login dir. E.g.
echo foo/bar.txt | parallel \
--sshlogin server.example.com --return .out touch {}.out
This will transfer the file I<$HOME/foo/bar.txt.out> from the server
I<server.example.com> to the file I<foo/bar.txt.out> after running
B<touch foo/bar.txt.out> on I<server.example.com>.
echo /tmp/foo/bar.txt | parallel \
--sshlogin server.example.com --return .out touch {}.out
This will transfer the file I</tmp/foo/bar.txt.out> from the server
I<server.example.com> to the file I</tmp/foo/bar.txt.out> after running
B<touch /tmp/foo/bar.txt.out> on I<server.example.com>.
Multiple files with different suffixes can be transfered by repeating
the options multiple times:
echo /tmp/foo/bar.txt | \
parallel --sshlogin server.example.com \
--return .out --return .out2 touch {}.out {}.out2
B<--return> is often used with B<--transfer> and B<--cleanup>.
B<--return> is ignored when used with B<--sshlogin :> or when not used with B<--sshlogin>.
=item B<--cleanup> (not implemented)
Remove transfered files. B<--cleanup> will remove the transfered files
on the remote server after processing is done.
find log -name '*gz' | parallel \
--sshlogin server.example.com --transfer --return .bz2 \

To run commands on a remote computer SSH needs to be set up and you

handy).
To run B<echo> on B<server.example.com>:
seq 1 10 | parallel --sshlogin server.example.com echo
To run commands on more than one remote computer run:

Or:

If the login username is I<foo> on I<server2.example.net> use:
seq 1 10 | parallel --sshlogin server.example.com \
--sshlogin foo@server2.example.net echo
To distribute the commands to a list of machines, make a file
I<mymachines> with all the machines:
server.example.com
foo@server2.example.com
server3.example.com
Then run:
seq 1 10 | parallel --sshloginfile mymachines echo
To include the local machine add the special sshlogin ':' to the list:
server.example.com
foo@server2.example.com
server3.example.com
:

correctly the number of CPU cores can be added in front. Here the
server has 8 CPU cores.

=head1 EXAMPLE 10: Transferring of files (not implemented)
To recompress gzipped files with bzip2 using a remote server run:
find logs/ -name '*.gz' | \
parallel --sshlogin server.example.com \
--transfer "zcat {} | bzip2 -9 >{}.bz2"
This will list the .gz-files in the I<logs> directory and all
directories below. Then it will transfer the files to
I<server.example.com> to the corresponding directory in
I<$HOME/logs>. On I<server.example.com> the file will be recompressed
using B<zcat> and B<bzip2> resulting in the corresponding file with
the suffix I<.bz2>.
If you want the file to be transfered back to the local machine add
I<--return .bz2>:
find logs/ -name '*.gz' | \
parallel --sshlogin server.example.com \
--transfer --return .bz2 "zcat {} | bzip2 -9 >{}.bz2"
After the recompressing is done the I<.bz2>-file is transfered back to
the local machine.
If you want to delete the transfered files on the remote machine add
I<--cleanup>:
find logs/ -name '*.gz' | \
parallel --sshlogin server.example.com \
--transfer --return .bz2 --cleanup "zcat {} | bzip2 -9 >{}.bz2"
If you want run one several servers add the servers to I<--sshlogin>
either using ',' or separate I<--sshlogin>:
find logs/ -name '*.gz' | \
parallel --sshlogin server.example.com,server2.example.com \
--sshlogin server3.example.com \
--transfer --return .bz2 --cleanup "zcat {} | bzip2 -9 >{}.bz2"
You can add the local machine using I<--sshlogin :>. This will disable the
removing and transferring for the local machine only:
find logs/ -name '*.gz' | \
parallel --sshlogin server.example.com,server2.example.com \

Count the number of CPUs instead of cores. When computing how many
jobs to run in parallel relative to the number of cores you can ask
parallel to instead look at the number of CPUs. This will make sense
for computers that have hyperthreading as two jobs running on one \s-1CPU\s0
with hyperthreading will run slower than two jobs running on two CPUs.
Normal users will not need this option.
