Norbert, I think you're looking for the "settings" context manager: http://readthedocs.org/docs/fabric/en/latest/api/core/context_managers.html#fabric.context_managers.settings

Original values, if any, will be restored once the with block closes. -Ed Brannin edbran...@gmail.com cell: 585-261-0279 On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 3:57 AM, Klamann, Norbert < norbert.klam...@klamann-software.de> wrote: > Hello all, > i want to use fabric for the distribution of plone instances and my scnario > is as follows: > On each (virtual) mchine I have a system user 'plone', who owns the > installation and shall handle the day to day business.
