Re: [Fab-user] Running Non-UNIX CLI commands through Fabric

[Waldbieser, Carl]

I think the problem is that every time you issue `run()`, it is like a separate 
`ssh` into the server.
In other words, no local state is maintained between each 'run()` command.

I am not sure what Fabric has to let you get around this (maybe something to 
prefix all your commands?), but that is why you are having the trouble, I think.

Thanks,
Carl Waldbieser

Subject: [Fab-user] Running Non-UNIX CLI commands through Fabric

I am using the latest Fabric API to establish SSH connections. In my case, 
SSH-ing to the server opens up a CLI (like the ones Routers have). I need to 
execute 'enable' command followed by '_shell' command in-order to finally open 
up a UNIX shell. The problem here is that I am unable to automate these 
specific commands using Fabric. I have tried the 'shell=False' parameter for 
the run() function. 

Here is an image of the commands I am running, followed by the error being 
generated: 





I have been trying different stuff but still haven't been able to solve this 
problem through Fabric. 

The equivalent implementation using a bash script is as follows:
