Run an interactive AWS SSM command in synchronised tmux panes on one or more EC2 instances by specifying the autoscaling group name or tag key and value.
These instructions will help you setup the script on your local machine. See usage for further information.
The following must be installed:
tmux(https://github.com/tmux/tmux)aws(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-linux.html#cliv2-linux-install)session-manager-plugin(https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager-working-with-install-plugin.html#install-plugin-linux)
Clone this repo or download multissm.sh script
git clone [email protected]:elpy1/ssm-multi-tmux.git
Copy the script to a local bin directory
cp ssm-multi-tmux/multissm.sh ~/.local/bin
