Re: [Fab-user] question about sudo executed

[Robert Ramírez Vique]

hi, 

is there any way to execute again a command which is
already executed ? I saw the parameter skip_executed=True , but don't
know how to set it.

As you have learned, sudo() actually constructs a sudo command that
calls bash (or whatever fab_shell is) which then calls your real
command.

The reason for this round-about way of sudo'ing can be illustrated thus:

$ sudo echo poke && whoami
poke
vest
$ sudo bash -c "echo poke && whoami"
poke
root

So we introduce a limitation to what can be expressed in a command by
not going through a shell.

But, I have pushed a change that will allow you to avoid the shell for
a single sudo command by setting a noshell keyword argument to True:

sudo('uptime', noshell=True)

Or, you can turn the shell off for all subsequent calls to sudo by
setting the fab_sudo_noshell variable on config to True:

config.fab_sudo_noshell=True
sudo('uptime')

But of these approaches are subject to the limitation described above,
but you can try them out if you fetch the code from the git
repositories. In fact, please do and tell me if you encounter any
other problems.
