The argument parser uses ~/.ssh/id_rsa as the default for the identity file (https://github.com/akosela/go-cs/blob/master/cs/cs.go#L426-L427), so it is passed to SSH even if the user did not specify cs -i ... on the commandline.

Proposal: Use a null value as the default and do not pass -i to ssh if that null value was not overridden by a cs commandline argument?

this is really nice for batch server management.
any plan to support user providing a password from shell or as an input option ?

e.g,

https://linux.die.net/man/1/pssh

-A
--askpass
Prompt for a password and pass it to ssh. The password may be used for either to unlock a key or for password authentication. The password is transferred in a fairly secure manner (e.g., it will not show up in argument lists). However, be aware that a root user on your system could potentially intercept the password.
