Re: [Fab-user] Run as root without sudo and root ssh disabled

[Brandon Whaley]

I think you may be able to use su by setting up a watcher for su's password prompt and using su -c "command" via run:

http://docs.pyinvoke.org/en/latest/concepts/watchers.html#autoresponding

    responder = Responder(

        pattern=r"Password: ",

        response="thisismysecretpassword",

    )

    c.run("su -c 'something-that-needs-root'", watchers=[responder])

Hi guys. I'm stuck on this.

I have some debian boxes without sudo and only my user working.

Today i do this:

1. Login to box as "myuser"

2.  $su -  

3. Ask for the root password (diferent from myuser password)

4. I got root  => #

I can't make it work with fabric. 

sudo('sh /tmp/myscript.sh') did not work

I read about using expect but i don't know if this is the "python way" to do this.

Any hint will be apreciatted
