iterm 2 issuing commands in multiple panes with parameters

I am using iterm for deployment into multiple servers and use the feature to run the common command to issue to all the panels. This is a good feature. However, there are times when I need to run the parametrized commands.i.e, hostname will be different and I would parametrize the hostname. Is this possible to issue parametrized command in iterm2.

You can Broadcast to multiple shells using env. variables assigned to different values in each shell:

shell #1:

>echo $RANDOM
11798

and shell #2 shows:

>echo $RANDOM
21342

So assign your hostname to a local env. variable (i.e. DEPLOYMENTHOSTNAME=DifferentHost) in each shell before enabling broadcasting and then you can enable broadcasting:

>cd ~/releasebuild
>scp newlibrary.so pradeep@$DEPLOYMENTHOSTNAME:/remote/deploy/directory
