Hello, I'm trying to write a script which will allow me to initiate (spawn?) an SSH reverse tunnel from an internal box (inside a firewall) to an external box, while logged into the external box. I posted to another list and was pointed in the direction of paramiko. I've read the tutorials, but cannot seem to figure out exactly how I can do this... I'm hoping someone can look at what I'm trying to do below and provide an example...
#!/usr/bin/python import os, time, subprocess REMOTE_HOME='/my/remote/mount' #mounted drive to REMOTE_HOME from LOCAL_MACHINE cmd = 'while true; do ssh -R 8022:localhost:22 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; sleep 60; done' while 1: while os.path.exists(os.path.join(REMOTE_HOME,'mySecretFile'): proc= subprocess.call(cmd,shell='True') if proc: os.kill(proc.pid) if os.path.exists(os.path.join(REMOTE_HOME,'KillScript'): break -- Note, I know the reverse tunnel script works on it's own run from the shell, but I don't want to leave it open always... furthermore it seems to be a rather 'brute force' method. It seems paramiko might provide a more elegant solution! Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?
