I have tried to use subprocess.check_output() for getting the ps aux command using python but it looks like not working with the large grep string. Can anyone have any solution?
subprocess.check_output('ps aux | grep "bin/scrapy" | grep "option1" | grep "option2" | grep "option3" | grep "option4" | grep "option5"' , shell =True)
You can use the following code snippet for executing commands on remote host
# create ssh client
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
# add host key
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
# connect to host
ssh.connect(hostname='somehost', username='someuser', password='somepass')
# Login using RSA key
# ssh.connect(hostname='somehost', username='someuser', key_filename='/home/someuser/.ssh/id_rsa')
# execute command
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('ps aux')
# print output
for line in stdout:
print(line)
# close connection
ssh.close()
# Output
# $ python3 test.py
