# [Purpose]
# execute a command on remote servers 
# note: we are basically rolling our own pssh here, without the parallelism

#Example: command.sh -tv -c "date" server1 special@server2 server3
#         command.sh -tv -c "date" -i key.pem -l "user" server1 special@server2 server3
#         command.sh -tv -s get_date.sh -i key.pem server2 server3
#         command.sh -tbv -s build.sh -l cap -i ~/keys/cap.pem ${app_[@]}
