cssh font size

The default clusterssh font size on my big monitors was too small.  

To fix this:

On Ubuntu 18.04

  1. just edit ~/.clusterssh/config

  2. change terminal_font=[whatever] with 12x24.  This increases the font size but the window dimensions then become too big.  

  3. Also change the terminal_size.  That was 80x24 originally.  Changing that to 70x40 allows me to (along with terminal_font=12x24) have two cssh terminals on one landscape 1920x1080 monitor.  Since I usually have 4 terminals, that's perfect for 4 terminals on two landscape monitors with some extra space for the cssh dialog for typing into all the terminals at once.


I really should learn tmux though.  tmux is supposed to have reasonable cssh like functionality.  But I'm so used to screen commands I'm not looking forward to learning new keystrokes.
