Re: [Fab-user] Using reboot in a fabfile

[Jacob McCoy Wade]

Well, unless you are connecting to the server as root, you are probably going to need to use sudo?

@task

def reboot():

  With hide(“everything”), show (“stderr”):

  sudo(‘reboot’)

???

Hi all, 

New to Fabric and this is a very basic question but I'm finding it crazily hard to find the right documentation/usage examples... 

I'm trying to create a series of tasks in fabfile.py, one of these tasks is solely intended to reboot the target servers. I can't seem to define this in a way that works, this is what I have: 

@task

def reboot():

    with hide ("everything"), show ("stderr"):

reboot

This runs OK using the fab binary on the CLI but it doesn't seem to actually do anything on the target servers. I've tried a fair few other things and haven't had any success. 

Apologies this is so simple, a link to any relevant documentation is fine. 

Thanks, 

Dan
