Re: Execute a command on remote machine in python
You could easily script this with popen calling secure shell to execute a command and capture the output.

Hello Roark, If the command does not change over time, an option could be to encapsulate the command and the output behind an XML-RPC interface. I used it several times now and for me this works perfectly. XML-RPC is part of the Python standard library, so it should work out of the box on windows and linux. It also supports mixed programming languages (maybe C# on windows to get the info you want and python on linux on the client).

It's a nice python library for remote command execution built on top of SSH. A more general answer is that, yes, SSH is the right thing to be looking at for your basic connectivity, data transport and remote command execution. But trying to deal with raw SSH will drive you batty. Something like fabric, layered on top of SSH, will make things a lot easier. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Execute a command on remote machine in python
It sounds like Fabric is what you're after. We use it at work and it's the best thing since ssh. ;] http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.3.2/index.html (Actually, it uses ssh internally and allows you to do remote shell-like programming in a pythonic fashion.)

If your doing windows to windows then you could wrap PsExec (sysinternals) or the open source but more or less abandoned RemCom (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rce). Disadvantage is that both of them are a royal PITA to wrap nicely. There are multiple problems with re-redirected STDOUT/STDERR Advantage is that you don't need to configure anything on the target machine. hth have a look at execnet http://codespeak.net/execnet/ It allows you to execute python code on a remote machine, assuming the distant machine has python installed. Work fine with either nix or windows systems. Regarding the file transfert, it sounds like pywin32 provides the netcopy service, but I'm not sure, I'm not working with windows.

Execute a command on remote machine in python
Hi, I am first time trying my hands on python scripting and would need some guidance from the experts on my problem. I want to execute a windows command within python script from a client machine on a remote target server, and would want the output of the command written in a file on client machine. What is the way it could be achieved. Thanks in advance, Roark. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
