fi

Example Usage:

ssh_ec2 select [TAG NAME] [TAG VALUE] [IP ADDRESS|all|random]

Tab completion for all commands and arguments. If you don't need a specific IP then use random to select one of the hosts at random or all to go to each host in turn.

Note:

If tag names have a : in them they are replaced with _COLON_ this is due to zsh treating text after a colon as help text
