Drush commands not executing using Paramiko
I posted the above question regarding a persistent error message that I receive using Paramiko. I do not think it is related to my next question, but it might be.
I can successfully connect to my server via SSH using Paramiko. I can execute commands like ls or pwd. What I can’t seem to do is change directories. I can send the command “cd ..” for example, but when I follow up with “pwd” it shows that I haven’t changed directories. It just lists the initial directory I am in when I log in.
>>> stdin, stdout, stderr = myssh.exec_command("pwd")
>>> stdout.readlines()
['/big/dom/home/myid\n']
>>> stdin, stdout, stderr = myssh.exec_command("cd ../")
>>> stdout.readlines()
[]
>>> stdin, stdout, stderr = myssh.exec_command("pwd")
>>> stdout.readlines()
['/big/dom/home/myid\n']
>>>
Am I misunderstanding what is going on here? Should I not be able to change directories? Or if I can, should I be doing it in some other way than using exec_command?
This guy had it figured out: http://www.vertigrated.com/blog/2010/02/python-remote-ssh-with-paramiko/
You just have to send multiple commands with one exec_command, such as:
Then stdout.readlines() will return the directory that you changed to.
