Execute concurrent SSH commands?

Question

I want to write a little PHP script using the ssh2_* functions to deploy some code to several servers concurrently and run a few tasks.

Is this possible in PHP, or do I have to wait for each request to complete?

I can use a different language, but we're a PHP shop so I thought I'd stick with the familiar.

See this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24500704/ssh2-exec-wait-end-of-a-process-to-run-next/24500766?noredirect=1#comment37930064_24500766 He **wants** it to wait for the first command to finish before running the second, but it doesn't. I think that should answer your question. — Barmar, Jul 01 '14 at 00:46

ssh2_exec() allows multiple concurrent requests. See here.

Aha! Maybe I'm creating problems where there isn't one then. I'll try this and see how it goes. Thanks! – mpen Jul 01 '14 at 00:57
