[Fab-user] Using invoke_shell for Custom Shell

[McDavid, Daniel]

I’ve got a network device running a custom shell that won’t except commands passed with the initial SSH connection (i.e., paramiko’s exec_command). When I use paramiko on its own, I use session.sendall() as a workaround and I see the option in `operations.py`, but I can’t figure out how to use it:

 

        # Kick off remote command

        if invoke_shell:

            channel.invoke_shell()

            if command:

                channel.sendall(command + "\n")

        else:

            channel.exec_command(command=command)

 

I tried running fab with `--set invoke_shell=True`, but that didn’t seem to do anything.

 

Suggestions?

 

Dan
