Fabric is just python there is no magic to it. $ cat >fabfile1.py import fabric from fabric.api import run, env import os
hostlist = '/tmp/hostlist' if (os.path.exists(hostlist)): env.hosts = list(file(hostlist).readlines())[:-1] print(env.hosts) def checkproc(): run('/bin/ps -elf |grep java') $ fab checkproc -f fabfile1.py From: fab-user-bounces+rbrown=knight....@nongnu.org [mailto:fab-user-bounces+rbrown=knight....@nongnu.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Bales Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 9:27 AM To: fab-user Subject: [Fab-user] Dynamic hosts not supported by -H? Hello all, I'm trying to build a web app around a few fabric scripts, and I need to supply a dynamic list of hosts to the scripts. I saw the -H switch, but it apparently only works when env.hosts is defined in the fabric script. I also looked at command-line kwargs for methods, but the methods won't even be executed without env.hosts being defined. Can someone point me in the right direction?
