I'm new to fabric and want to run a long-running script on a remote computer, so far, I have been using something like this:
import fabric
c = fabric.Connection("192.168.8.16") # blocking
result = c.run("long-running-script-outputing-state-information-into-stdout.py")
Is there a way to read stdout as it comes asynchronously instead of using the 'result' object that can be used only after the command has finished?
If you want to use fabric to do some stuff remotely, you have first of all follow this structure to make a connection:
@task(hosts=["servername"])
def do_things(c):
with connection(host=host, user=user,) as c:
c.run("long-running-script-outputing-state-information-into-stdout.py")
This will output the whole output regardless what you are doing!
you have to use with connection(host=host, user=user,) as c: to ensure that everything you run will run within that connection context!
