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: stackoverflow.com/questions/24500704/… 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

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!
