[Fab-user] Trouble with rebooting a machine

[Enis Afgan]

Hello,

I was very happy to see the availability of 'reboot' operation in the newly released v0.9.2. However, when I try to use the method, the remote machine reboots but the fabric script fails to execute subsequent commands. The script does not seem to wait the specified amount of time before proceeding. Should a back-off system be implemented following the call to reboot?

Here is my sample script:

from fabric.api import *

from fabric.operations import *

env.user = 'ubuntu'

def s():

    print env.hosts[0]

    print env.user

    reboot(35)

    run('uname -a')

And here is the result of running the script:

$ fab -i ~/keypair.private -f simple_fabfile.py -H ec2-75-101-190-218.compute-1.amazonaws.com s

[ec2-75-101-190-218.compute-1.amazonaws.com] Executing task 's'

ec2-75-101-190-218.compute-1.amazonaws.com

[ec2-75-101-190-218.compute-1.amazonaws.com] sudo: reboot

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/afgane/Dropbox/tmp/code/simple_fabfile.py", line 30, in s

    reboot('35')

  File "build/bdist.macosx-10.3-fat/egg/fabric/operations.py", line 633, in reboot

KeyError: 'ec2-75-101-190-218.compute-1.amazonaws.com'

Disconnecting from ec2-75-101-190-218.compute-1.amazonaws.com... done.

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated,
