Re: [Fab-user] get latest file from remote hosts

Hi Carl,

glob will be executed locally on your

machine.

Your solution is similar to that of mine that I used in one of my scripts. I dont know of any better solution.

Hello,

I need to retrieve the latest log filename from remote host. I was trying to do following:

==
@task
@roles('RemoteHosts')
def RetrieveFile():

    TmpFile =  (sorted(glob.glob('/opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.*'), key=os.path.getmtime))[-1]
    print TmpFile
==

Apparently, this doesn't work as array from glob.glob is always empty.  My workaround is following:

==

@task
@roles('RemoteHosts')
def RetrieveFile():

    TmpFile= run('ls -ct1 /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.* | head -1')

    print TmpFile

==

It is working fine. But I wonder whether there is other/better solution.

Cheers,

carl
