There's no confirmation about the number of machines the script is going to affect?
- capableweb 4y agoProbably, but irrelevant. What you really need is a confirmation if the sent command will lead to bugs/downtime or not. If you think the command is working 100%, why would you say no to run it on 1000s of machines all at once?
- pshirshov 4y agoYeah, it was extremely easy to fuck up. In some cases though you might have wanted to run something on thousands of hosts to debug a tricky issue. Bad practices, I know.
- DCNick3 4y agoIt's eventual consistency all the way, so it actually doesn't really know how many machines are there
- lostmsu 4y agoThat does not necessarily mean it could not provide some useful info about that. E.g. it could run a ping on all eligible machines and show total count of responses in real time for the currently typed filter.
