I'm a new paramiko user and am having difficulty running commands on a remote server with paramiko. I want to export a path and also run a program called tophat in the background. I can login fine with paramiko.sshclient() but my code to exec_command has no results.
stdin, stdout, sterr = ssh.exec_command('export PATH=$PATH:/proj/genome/programs
/tophat-1.3.0/bin:/proj/genome/programs/cufflinks-1.0.3/bin:/proj/genome/programs/
bowtie-0.12.7:/proj/genome/programs/samtools-0.1.16')
stdin, stdout, sterr = ssh.exec_command('nohup tophat -o /output/path/directory -I
10000 -p 8 --microexon-search -r 50 /proj/genome/programs/bowtie-0.12.7/indexes
/ce9 /input/path/1 /input/path/2 &')
there is no nohup.out file and python just goes to the next line with no error messages. I have tried without nohup as well and the result is the same. I was trying to follow this paramiko tutorial.
am I using exec_command incorrectly?
