HOSTSEARCH(1)		     General Commands Manual		   HOSTSEARCH(1)

NAME
     hostsearch -- query several hosts for installed Debian packages

SYNOPSIS
     hostsearch [-f hostsfile] pkgname...
     hostsearch [-hV]

DESCRIPTION
     The  hostsearch  utility  connects to several hosts using SSH and checks if
     the specified Debian packages are installed.

     Options:

     -f      Specify the file containing the list of hosts  to	query  (default:
	     int.hoster.bg.z).

     -h      Display program usage information and exit.

     -V      Display program version information and exit.

RETURN VALUES
     The hostsearch utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
     The  hostsearch  utility's  operation is currently not directly affected by
     its environment.

FILES
     The hostsearch utility reads the hosts list file (either int.hoster.bg.z or
     the one specified as an argument to the -f command-line option)  to  deter-
     mine  the	list  of  hosts to connect to.	This should be a plain text file
     containing one hostname per row.

EXAMPLES
     Connect to the hosts listed in the int.hoster.bg.z file and list those that
     have curl installed:

	   hostsearch curl

     Specify a different host list file and check for more packages:

	   hostsearch -f ringlet.z apt-listchanges sysgather
