I pretty new to python programming, as part of my learning i had decided to start coding for a simple daily task which would save sometime, I'm done with most part of the script but now i see a big challenge in executing it , because i need to execute it a remote server with the sudo user access. Basically what i need is,
login to remote system. run sudo su - user(no need of password as its a SSH key based login) run the code. logout with the result assigned to varible. I need the end result of the script stored in a variable so that i can use that back for verification.
Thanks for all the answers guys. Fabric worked for me, below is the code snippet.
from fabric.context_managers import settings
from fabric.api import *
with settings(host_string='username@host',user='runcommand_user'):
run('command')
But before using this make sure you have set sudo access as below in the host (runcommand_user) NOPASSWD: ALL
u can login into host and execute 'sudo -l' to check if you have the access as mentioned above
