Hi Dan,
Can you post your entire fabfile (with anything sensitive removed, and
including import statements) on, say, gist.github.com or dpaste.com? The
example in the email itself has a handful of issues but seeing the whole
thing will make some of them clearer :)
I can definitely say that if your post below is literal, your first issue
is you probably aren't actually calling `reboot` because there's no
parentheses after it! (`reboot` vs `reboot()`) - but depending on your
imports, once you fix that you'll probably have a few more problems
besides...
Here's what you are _probably_ going for, by the way:
```
from fabric.api import task, reboot as builtin_reboot
@task
def reboot():
with hide("everything"), show("stderr"):
builtin_reboot()
```
(With option to name your task something besides `reboot`, and then not
doing the `import x as y` form when importing the builtin.)
Best,
Jeff
