I'm pretty new to python and fabric and I am trying to do a simple code where I can get the output on two hosts that uses sudo, although I keep getting an error.... Can anyone help me out with what I might be missing ?
My code:
from fabric.api import *
from getpass import getpass
from fabric.decorators import runs_once
env.hosts = ['host1','host2']
env.port = '22'
env.user = 'username'
env.password="password"
def sudo_dsmc(cmd):
sudo("-l")
When I run: fab sudo_dsmc:"-1" :
MacBookPRO:PYTHON username$ fab sudo_dsmc:"-l"
[host1] Executing task 'sudo_dsmc'
[host1] sudo: -l
[host1] out: sudo password:
[host1] out: Sorry, user username is not allowed to execute '/bin/bash -l -c - l' as root on host1.
[host1] out:
Fatal error: sudo() received nonzero return code 1 while executing!
Requested: -l
Executed: sudo -S -p 'sudo password:' /bin/bash -l -c "-l"
Aborting.
Disconnecting from host1... done.
Although I can run the apt-get update with my below function fine without any errors:
def sudo_command(cmd):
sudo("apt-get update")
# run like: fab sudo_command:"apt-get-update"
It looks like your sudoers file is preventing you from running that command as sudo. Check your /etc/sudoers file and read the sudo documentation.
Also "-l" isn't a valid command. sudo takes -l as an optional flag (which lists commands allowed by the user). But Fabric's sudo appears to be taking unknown strings and routing them through /bin/bash instead of using them directly as sudo command parameters.
