Some time ago I made two scripts:

1. Script named as: multiple_ssh_exec.sh * When executed, it displays a menu. * In the first lines it gives the host groups names. * You will need to input as first option a host group name. * On the second option you will need to input a Username. * Third option: input a command to execute on remote host.
2. Script named: multiple_ssh_exec_w_args.sh * This scripts require arguments from the cli. * First arg: -f the file with the host groups * Second arg:-s to show the host group names (requires -f ) * Third arg: -n to define the host group name (requires -f) * Fourth arg:-u username to use with ssh (requires -f -n) * Fifth arg: -c command to use on remote host (requires -f -n -u)

You could take a look here:
