+# Consul Exec
+
+Command: `consul exec`
+
+The exec command provides a mechahanism for remote execution. For example,
+this can be used to run the `uptime` command across all machines providing
+the `web` service.
+
+Remote execution works by specifying a job which is stored in the KV store.
+Agent's are informed about the new job using the [event system](/docs/commands/event.html),
+which propogates messages via the [gossip protocol](/docs/internals/gossip.html).
+As a result, delivery is best-effort, and there is **no guarantee** of execution.
+
+While events are purely gossip driven, remote execution relies on the KV store
+as a message broker. As a result, the `exec` command will not be able to
+properly function during a Consul outage.
+
+## Usage
+
+Usage: `consul exec [options] [-|command...]`
+
+The only required option is a command to execute. This is either given
+as trailing arguments, or by specifying '-', stdin will be read to
+completion as a script to evaluate.
+
+The list of available flags are:
+
+* `-http-addr` - Address to the HTTP server of the agent you want to contact
+  to send this command. If this isn't specified, the command will contact
+  "127.0.0.1:8500" which is the default HTTP address of a Consul agent.
+
+* `-datacenter` - Datacenter to query. Defaults to that of agent. In version
+  0.4, that is the only supported value.
+
+* `-prefix` - Key prefix in the KV store to use for storing request data.
+  Defaults to "_rexec".
+
+* `-node` - Regular expression to filter nodes which should evaluate the event.
+
+* `-service` - Regular expression to filter to only nodes with matching services.
+
+* `-tag` - Regular expression to filter to only nodes with a service that has
+  a matching tag. This must be used with `-service`. As an example, you may
+  do "-server mysql -tag slave".
+
+* `-wait` - Specifies the period of time in which no agent's respond before considering
+  the job finished. This is basically the quiescent time required to assume completion.
+  This period is not a hard deadline, and the command will wait longer depending on
+  various heuristics.
+
+* `-wait-repl` - Period to wait after writing the job specification for replication.
+  This is a heuristic value and enables agents to do a stale read of the job. Defaults
+  to 200msec.
+
+* `-verbose` - Enables verbose output.
