""" class pxssh (spawn): """This class extends pexpect.spawn to specialize setting up SSH connections. This adds methods for login, logout, and expecting the shell prompt. It does various tricky things to handle many situations in the SSH login process. For example, if the session is your first login, then pxssh automatically accepts the remote certificate; or if you have public key authentication setup then pxssh won't wait for the password prompt. pxssh uses the shell prompt to synchronize output from the remote host. In order to make this more robust it sets the shell prompt to something more unique than just $ or #. This should work on most Borne/Bash or Csh style shells. Example that runs a few commands on a remote server and prints the result:: import pxssh import getpass try: s = pxssh.pxssh() hostname = raw_input('hostname: ') username = raw_input('username: ') password = getpass.getpass('password: ') s.login (hostname, username, password) s.sendline ('uptime') # run a command s.prompt() # match the prompt print s.before # print everything before the prompt. s.sendline ('ls -l') s.prompt() print s.before s.sendline ('df') s.prompt() print s.before s.logout() except pxssh.ExceptionPxssh, e: print "pxssh failed on login." print str(e) Note that if you have ssh-agent running while doing development with pxssh then this can lead to a lot of confusion. Many X display managers (xdm, gdm, kdm, etc.) will automatically start a GUI agent. You may see a GUI dialog box popup asking for a password during development. You should turn off any key agents during testing. The 'force_password' attribute will turn off public key authentication. This will only work if the remote SSH server is configured to allow password logins. Example of using 'force_password' attribute:: s = pxssh.pxssh() s.force_password = True hostname = raw_input('hostname: ') username = raw_input('username: ') password = getpass.getpass('password: ') s.login (hostname, username, password) """ def __init__ (self, timeout=30, maxread=2000, searchwindowsize=None, logfile=None, cwd=None, env=None): spawn.__init__(self, None, timeout=timeout, maxread=maxread, searchwindowsize=searchwindowsize, logfile=logfile, cwd=cwd, env=env) self.name = '<pxssh>' #SUBTLE HACK ALERT! Note that the command to set the prompt uses a #slightly different string than the regular expression to match it.

It uses the 'original_prompt' to try to find the prompt right after login. When it finds the prompt it immediately tries to reset the prompt to something more easily matched. The default 'original_prompt' is very optimistic and is easily fooled. It's more reliable to try to match the original prompt as exactly as possible to prevent false matches by server strings such as the "Message Of The Day". On many systems you can disable the MOTD on the remote server by creating a zero-length file called "~/.hushlogin" on the remote server. If a prompt cannot be found then this will not necessarily cause the login to fail. In the case of a timeout when looking for the prompt we assume that the original prompt was so weird that we could not match it, so we use a few tricks to guess when we have reached the prompt. Then we hope for the best and blindly try to reset the prompt to something more unique. If that fails then login() raises an ExceptionPxssh exception. In some situations it is not possible or desirable to reset the original prompt. In this case, set 'auto_prompt_reset' to False to inhibit setting the prompt to the UNIQUE_PROMPT.
