[CIG-MC] ssh and autocombine.py

[Eh Tan]

Hi Robert,

At some point the script was renamed but the manual was not updated. The
correct name of the script should be visual/batchcombine.py. Seems you
have figure it out by yourself.

Regarding the error message, do you need to type password when ssh into
the nodes? If so, you will need to setup password-less login first.
Execute the command "ssh-keygen", and when asked for passphrase, just
press |<ENTER>| twice. Then try autocombine.py again.
