+# Skyline
+
+Skyline allows you to send shell commands to all machines in any one, or all AutoScaling groups in your Amazon EC2 account.
+
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Ruby
+* [Amazon EC2 account][ec2]
+* [Amazon EC2 API tools][ec2tools]
+* [Amazon AutoScaling tools][astools]
+* At least one AutoScaling group with instances
+
+
+## Usage
+
+Get Skyline:
+
+    git clone git://github.com/jimeh/skyline.git
+
+If you're using a custom SSH key, define it in `skyline_config.yml`:
+
+    ssh_key: ~/.ec2/kp_jimeh_default
+
+Run Skyline and it's help command:
+
+    ./skyline
+    help_me
+
+The pure basics are:
+* Select an AutoScaling group with the `use` command
+* Use the `icmd` command to enter an interactive shell where everything you enter runs in parallel on all machines within selected AutoScaling group.
+
+
+## Notes / Warnings
+
+* I created this tool in a hurry back in September to auto-scale a then fast growing Facebook application, and I haven't really touched it since. As such, it's not perfect, definitely has some bad code, and generally is far from perfect.
+
+  That said, it does work, and works very well. If there's something that can be done better, don't hesitate to fork and send me a pull request :)
+
+* This tool was originally mean to be used together with [Skyhook][skyhook]. But it's perfectly useful as a standalone tool.
