You should read up on what a task is and how the command line tool uses them.

Hi Brandon,

I have created the below fabfile.py.

$ cat fabfile.py
from fabric import task, Connection

password = 'test#@!123'
connect_kwargs = {'password': password}
connection = Connection(host="192.168.0.168", user="root", connect_kwargs=connect_kwargs)
result = connection.run('uname -a')

$
$fab result
Linux learnpython 3.10.0-1160.24.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 8 19:51:47 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
No idea what 'result' is!

$

I am facing No idea what 'result' is! issue. I am sure I am missing the configuration in the fabfile.py file. Please correct me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
