[Planetlab-users] vxargs problem

[Farshad A. Samimi]

Hi, I am using vxargs to launch programs on multiple PlanetLab nodes and it
is crashing all the time with the below message. I have been using this
program for a long time and it worked fine, so I'm wondering something has
changed on PlanetLab?
Any other similary tools to run programs on multiple nodes and capture their
screen output? Thanks.
