What is Python's Fabric equivalent in other languages?

Can someone tell me what's the equivalent of Python's Fabric in Python itself, other languages or third party tools? I am still a bit fuzzy on what it is trying to accomplish and it's usage.

The Ruby community uses a tool called Capistrano for the same purpose.

Looking at the fabric example the first thing I thought about was mpiexec. Given right coding, I believe fabric can be used to run bot-nets or parallel processing clusters depending on your inclination.

These tools are for performing common remote administration tasks usually as part of automated builds - a Ruby equivalent might be Capistrano, JSch in Java.

It helps you to run commands on a lot of remote machines via SSH from your box. So you don't have to login on each one and copypaste the output of some machine back to your desktop.
