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

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?

Thanks,
